Reading Marathon is this Saturday!

What is the Reading Marathon?
• An annual competition between three middle schools (Aki Kurose, Mercer, and Washington) sponsored by The Seattle Public Library.
• Students and staff from the three schools can visit any of three library branches (Columbia, Douglass-Truth, or Rainier Beach) any time between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm on Saturday, December 5, 2009.
• Participants will log in and out of the program in the library meeting rooms so we can keep track of how much time is spent reading. There will be pizza, other snacks, and prizes in between reading sessions.
• The school with the most hours of reading (after adjusting for school size) wins a dance party with a DJ from KUBE 93.

The Reading Marathon is a fun, relaxed event with lots of great reading material provided by Seattle Public Library. Students can read for ANY amount of time—fifteen minutes, or all six hours. While only student and staff hours will be counted for the total, parents/guardians/family members are welcome to join in the reading.

And the winning school wins a dance! Will Washington beat Aki and Mercer? Only if readers show up on Saturday. Hope to see you there.
