NOTE FROM MS. CAMPBELL: The Global Reading Challenge will be starting soon! The Global Reading Challenge is a reading incentive program for 4th and 5th graders enrolled in Seattle Public Schools, sponsored by the Seattle Public Library. Students form teams and read selected books, then take part in a trivia competition. All 4th and 5th graders are encouraged to participate, but it is entirely optional. Applications were passed out last week, please check in with your child to see if they are interested. The program begins in November and culminates in a Hawthorne GRC Competition in February. The winners of the school challenge move on to the Semi-Finals at the Seattle Public Library where they will compete against other reading teams from around the district. For more information, check out the Global Reading Challenge website here: https://www.spl.org/programs-and-services/fun-and-games/global-reading-challenge If you have questions, email Mrs. Campbell at jwcampbell@seattleschools.org
