Christmas Reading Challenge


 
Christmas Reading Challenge

Students at OES will be participating in a Christmas Reading Challenge by reading as much as they can over the holiday break.  The challenge begins on Friday, December 19th upon dismissal from school and concludes on Monday, January 5th when we return.  Students may use the special “Winter Break Challenge” logs that are attached to the paper sent home.  If they are filled, notebook paper may be attached to the log.  All logs must be turned in on January 5th.  These steps will be added to his or her regular reading log, also!  ***New this year – All students that participate in reading over the break will receive a special surprise!

We are competing against other District 2 schools for a trophy and bragging rights.  In addition, the class with the highest percentage of reading per grade level will receive a trophy for their class and “Pancakes with the Principals.” 

We encourage every student to READ, READ, READ over the break to maintain the progress made thus far this school year!  We would love to share pictures of you reading on the OES Facebook page & on Twitter, especially as you travel and participate in holiday events.  Use #OESread to share your reading pictures with us!
