News from the Library...
As we come to the close of the 3rd quarter, please remind your child of some important deadlines.
If they are reading for a milestone for the SSYRA Jr. or SSYRA program, the reading, testing, and updating of their reading log card, must be accomplished by the end of school day this Thursday, March 14. This includes the reading of 6 books for an invitation to the Election Party, where students select their favorite book among the 15 state-nominated titles (both SSYRA Jr. and SSYRA) held on Friday, April 12. Or for a seat on the Battle of the Books the reading of all 15 books is required - SSYRA Jr. Battle held Friday afternoon of April 26 or SSRYA Battle held the evening of April 30.
After the deadline, students will still be encouraged to continue reading the state nominated books and will receive a brag tag until May 17th.
Also, Thursday, March 14, is the deadline to earn points toward their AR Fun Day Goal. Attached is the requirement letter for your reference.
Thank you for supporting your child as they strive to be their best.
