Summer+Reading

BE A PART OF PALMYRA MIDDLE SCHOOL'S SUMMER READING CHALLENGE! How would you like to be part of breaking a world record? This summer Palmyra Area Middle School students are invited to participate in Scholastic’s Summer Reading Challenge and read for the world record! All you have to do is log the minutes you spend reading from the beginning of May through the end of August. The 20 schools with the most minutes logged will receive recognition in the 2012 Scholastic Book of World Records.

**There are just a few steps to complete if you are interested in participating:**

 #1: Fill out a reading pledge form and return to your Language Arts teacher by Wednesday, May 4th.

 #2: You will then receive a special user name and password to log your minutes on Scholastic’s website. If you don’t have Internet access, you can record your  minutes on a reading log and turn in at the start of the school year. You can start recording your minutes as soon as you get your information.

 #3: Read!

 #4: Log your minutes on Scholastic’s website or on a reading log. Return your log

 #5: Watch and see how many minutes Palmyra Middle School students read! Let’s see if we can break the world record!

 If you have questions about this program or would like to participate, please contact Mrs. Mahaffey at abbie_mahaffey@pasd.us.
