North Elementary will be participating in the 8th annual Kite Flight for Reading and Sight sponsored by the Lions Club. The contest will be held January 30-April 27, 2012. Students are asked to read at home and record the number of minutes read each week on a monthly reading calendar signed by a parent/guardian. Reading can be done any day during the week, but DAILY reading is the goal.
On Saturday, April 28, bring the official Home Reading Chart (teachers will provide this chart) to the Lions Club Flight for Reading and Sight Kite Festival at the Cedar Middle School field next to Discovery Park beginning at 10:00 am. All students who turn in their completed reading chart will receive a free kite.
Other family fun festivities include a kite flying competition, food, bouncers, Home Depot crafts, K-9 demonstrations, and visits with local policemen and firemen.
Kite Flying Competition Information
This year's theme is "I Love to Read". No registration fee is required to join the competition. There will be three categories to participate and win great prizes in. Judging will begin at 1:00 pm.
1. Best homemade kite.
2. The kite that stays in the air the longest.
3. Judges choice; family participation.
Schools with the most Reading Charts turned in will receive a donation from the Lions Club. The class from each school with the highest participation will receive a pizza party. After the festival, additional drawings from the redeemed reading charts will be held at each school for other prizes (MP3 player, etc).
Remember to read every day, record the amount of minutes read, and participate in a fun family festival on April 28, 2012.
