Howdy Trailblazers! This year we are excited to announce a Trailblazer Reading Program called the 40 Book Challenge!
The intent of this optional program is to encourage a love of reading amongst all grade levels. Below is the breakdown of prizes awarded as well as a completion page grouped into 6 book entries. For every 6 books read, fill out the entry form, cut along the dotted line, and turn it into the BES
Book Challenge box (the black box located at the front entrance of the school to the right of the stairwell).
Your child does not have to read all these books by her/himself. She/he can read alone, read to you, or you can read to her/him. Please encourage your child to participate if you are reading to them. Forms of reading include books: from the school (parents can set up an account in the school library to check out books for your child), the public library, your child’s class library, personal library, or borrowed from friends/family.
Feel free to ask Mrs. Colby, our school librarian, for any assistance you may need. You may also contact Erica Marcial, head of BES 40 Book Challenge, with any questions/concerns at: emarcial1121@gmail.com or through our Facebook page.
