BEGINS Monday, October 18 through Monday, October 25, 2010
DATE: Tuesday, October 19 Work on Your Competitive Project Work Night
TIME: 7-8 pm
PLACE: Roadrunner Room
GRADES: Students in Grades 5-12
DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: Students pledge to read 5 books or graphic novels between Teen Read Week and WrestleMania 27 on April 3, 2011. Pick up a WrestleMania Reading Challenge Pledge Form at the Young Adult Department. Complete the pledge form by writing in the titles of five books or graphic novels they pledge to read. As students read each of their five books, they can pick up a TOPPS card at the Young Adult Department - one card for each book read. When they've read the five pledged books they receive a WrestleMania Reading Challenge mini poster.
To be eligible to win a trip to WrestleMania, students must fill out the pledge form and compete in a competitive project during Teen Read Week. Participating students will receive a project sheet to complete their competitive project: Grades 5-6 will design a bookmark and Grades 7-12 will design a poster. Students turn in their project and parent-signed competitive project form to Young Adult Department by October 25. We will choose a winner for Grades 5-6, Grades 7-8 and Grades 9-12. The winners will receive a certificate and a WWE Shop Gift Card. YALSA will receive the winning entries to be judged as part of the national competition. The students chosen as Grand Prize Winners will represent their libraries at the WrestleMania Reading Challenge World Finals in Atlanta on April 3, 2011 and win their library $2,000 in grants and other prizes.
The Young Adult Department will have a Work on Your Competitive Project Work Night Tuesday, October 19 from 7-8 in the Roadrunner Room. Students are welcome to bring their own materials or they can use materials we provide.
