Nevada Reading Week
February 27th-March 3rd
Camp
In 1987, the Nevada Department of Education began a statewide initiative for Nevada teachers and librarians to celebrate reading through shared thematic activities. Nevada Reading Week usually begins during the last week of February and coincides with the birthday of Dr. Seuss.
The library and ELA teachers will have blank bookmarks available for decoration. Students must decorate the bookmark to reflect the reading week theme: Camp READ - Nevada USA. There will be one 6th, 7th, and 8th grade winner and a STAFF winner too. Please create your bookmark in black ink or pencil. No colors please. Turn your bookmark into Mrs. Savage by 3:00 on Thursday, March 2nd. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 8th and will receive an award ribbon and book. Winning bookmarks will be printed and distributed in the library.
