NAME THAT BOOK NEWS
Excitement is building and interest is growing in the year’s Name That Book Contests! Sign-up sheets for both the K – 2 and the 3 – 5, contests are now in the library. K – 2 students will read thirty books; 3 - 5 students will read thirty-five books. All students should read as many books as possible before January. The qualifying tests will be sometime in January, prior to the contests in February (K-2) and April (3-5). The final teams of six each and one alternate per team will be determined by the results of the test. After that, students will meet once or twice a week to practice for contest.
Cathie Partridge has agreed to sponsor the K – 2 Team. However it would be great if other parents would volunteer to give her a hand. Liz Brigman and Penny Linsenmayer have agreed to co-sponsor the 3 – 5 teams. I am sure they would appreciate additional assistance as well. The NTB reading lists are in the library and available online at

Please stop by the library and see me should you have any questions. Thank you.
K – 2 Sponsor, Cathie Partridge, cast.net chilsonpartridge@com

Sign up sheets for both the K - 2 and 3 – 5 NTB Contests are available in the library beginning the week of November 3.
