  7. What is Reading Olympics? • Reading Olympics is a club in which we read books from a set list of 44. • In late March – early April, we go to a competition, usually at Wissahickon High School, and answer content-based questions from the books. • Each question is worth one point and the goal is to have fun with your peers and make new friends.

  8. What is Reading Olympics? (continued) • Before the competition day, after school we will meet here in K126 and have a pizza party to celebrate how far we have come. • Note: There are dues for this club! Dues are $5 and will contribute to snacks for each meeting as well as the pizza party at the end of the year!

  9. Things in the works • Possible Charity event? Ideas? • Possible field trip at the end of the year? A tour of the Free Library of Philadelphia? • Future T-shirt meeting (TBD) • Future fundraiser?

  10. New Method • This year, in order to have all the books read by at least one person, we will each pull a book at random from a hat. This book is your book for the week. If you pull a book that you have already read, please place that slip back in the hat and draw again.

  11. Meetings • Our full club meetings will occur on the first Monday of each month leading up to the competition. We will add meetings if we feel it is necessary. • During each meeting, it is expected from each member to share important details about the book that they have read for this meeting. In addition, a summary of the book is to be submitted to the Wikispace page!
