Book Blitz Jr. for 3rd, 4th and 5th Graders
Book Blitz Jr. is a fun group for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who LOVE reading!
Teams will meet monthly in September, October, November, and December, and weekly after that to prepare for the competition. Students read a minimum of 4-6 books by the beginning of March from a selected list of 12, write summaries, work together as teams, and compete on Battle Day (mid-March) using their collective knowledge of the content of the books — Jeopardy style! The 4th-5th grade winners of our school level Battle Day competition will participate in a district-wide competition in early April. The primary purpose of Book Blitz Jr. is to foster students’ love of reading by introducing them to a wide variety of books by acclaimed authors in multiple formats.

LAST CALL FOR NEW MEMBERS: Get Involved in the School Community Council!
Serving on the School Community CouncilServing on our School Community Council is a wonderful way for parents and teachers to contribute and help improve academic performance at our school. The school receives an annual dividend from the school trust lands. Our council decides how these funds will be used. Last year our school received $109,511.98 from the School LAND Trust Program. The council reviews and prepares other academic plans for our students each year. All plans are reviewed for final approval by our school board. Councils also act in an advisory capacity to school and school district administrations.
Qualifications
Every public school in Utah has a School Community Council. The councils are made up of school employees who are elected by employees and parents of students attending the school. Membership terms are for two years. Elections are held at the beginning of each school year.
