It’s hard to believe, but we’ve almost completed 50 nights of reading. 

After November 14th you can drop off your yellow forms in the library and pick up your new orange form for 100 nights.

Students’ names will be posted on the bulletin board across from the library and beside the lunch room.  We will recognize the Reading Club as a group at the assembly on Nov. 28th.  There will also be a draw for some great books for some lucky readers!

Thank you to parents for helping your child develop a lifetime habit of reading.

How far do you think we’ve traveled? Remember that 50 nights = 50 km. Every student or staff member who completed a form would count as 50 km. Post your answer here and the closest estimate will win a prize at the assembly.  Please include your first name and division in your comment.

Welcome to the Reading Club!  Every student and staff member at South Slope/ BCSD is automatically a member of the club.  This year we want to put the focus on community and recognition.

When your child student completes their reading record form, s/he returns the form to school and receives a new form.  Students will be recognized individually on a bulletin board in the school and as a group at our Celebration of Learning assemblies.  Students who complete 250 nights of reading before the end of June will have a book dedicated to them and placed in our school library.

Our community goal is to “Read Around the World”.  50 nights of reading will equal 50 kilometres. The more students and staff who participate; the farther we will travel.  We will have a school-wide celebration to celebrate how far we travel!.

Parents can help by encouraging their child to read every night (or be read to) for a minimum of 15 minutes and then sign the reading record form. 

Thank you for helping your child develop a lifetime habit of reading!   Please come and see me in the library if you have any questions or comments.
