Global Reading Challenge
Reading Challenge, or GRC, is a quiz bowl-type of event open to 4th and 5th grade students at my school and dozens (hundreds) of other schools across Western WA. The outstanding librarians at KCLS run this program at elementary schools across King County, WA. They provide copies of books to each team and host the GRC challenges at each participating school. Several months ago, our student applications went out for 5 teams of 6 students. Names were then drawn from the applications, balanced teams were formed, and - FINALLY - the 6 books were announced! From historical fiction to fantasy to mystery, there really is something for all readers! Participants have been busy preparing questions in preparation and meeting in teams and quizzing each other using a variety of questions including multiple choice, true and false, and short answer. Our in-school challenge will be Monday, January 25th, from 9:00-10:00 a.m in the Commons. Parents of the participants will also be invited to attend this fun event. |

Safe Arrival - help needed on
Mondays and every other Wednesday
If you are free Monday or every other Wednesday morning between 9-10 am, please consider helping out with this great program. Volunteers call parents if a child does not report to school and no message was received regarding the absence.
What is the purpose of the Safe Arrival Program?
#1 - To alleviate potential concern by notifying parents if their children do not arrive at school.
#2 - To comply with the school district's requirements that the school keep a record of excused absences
