Olympic Readathon Results

by Shandra Wiebe

The Olympic Read-a-thon was a fabulous success with a total of 157 students completing the three week challenge!  Grade K through 9 read a total of 224,272 minutes or 3,787.87 hours or 155.74 days!  Those homes must have been pretty quiet for a while. 

We had prizes for the highest number o f minutes read per grade as well as a random draw for each grade. $20 Amazon E-Card for highest score and $10 Amazon E-card for the  random draw  We also did a random draw for an Ipod Nano!  Here are the winners:

 

Ipod Nano Winner – Thomas Panio

The gift cards were sent electronically by e-mail to the winners.  Thomas lives in Kelowna so he was able to drop by in person to claim his Ipod…and he looked pretty happy about it!!

Thank you to all who took part.  We look forward to doing it again next year!

The library will be open during the first week of Spring Break, but closed from March 16th - 29th.  I am working on cataloging many books, CDs and DVDs so be sure to read the library newsletter sent on by your teacher.  I’ll keep you up to date on all of the new items!

Here’s a little glimpse of what is coming to your library bookshelves:  more Moody Science DVDs,  Jonathan Park CDs, and Summit Ministries Worldview and Bible Curriculum!
