Hi Parents,
Turkey of the Year is back, and better than ever! Last Thursday, your child received a letter regarding our annual "Turkey of the Year" reading incentive. Each year, the students vote for the Pinebrook staff member they would like to see dressed in a turkey suit for a day...this person is the "Turkey of the Year." Students must read to vote...one hour of reading equals one vote. Voting takes place over a 4 week period, and each week, the field of candidates is narrowed until one staff member is named our Pinebrook Turkey of the Year.
Last year, I made it all the way to the final round of voting!!!! I was this close to being Turkey of the Year, but lost to my friend, Mrs. Danish (who looked fabulous in the turkey suit!).
People--this is my year!!! Please help me become the Turkey of the Year by encouraging your child to read, read, and read some more over the next 4 weeks! At the bottom of the paper your child received last Thursday, there are some slips which you must sign and return each Friday for your child to be eligible to vote. On the slip, please indicate how many hours your child read that week and sign the slip. When your child brings it to school on Friday, he/she will receive the number of votes equal to the number of hours read. If you lose the preprinted slips, write a note to state how many hours your child read, and send that instead. Voting starts this Friday, October 28th.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this super fun reading incentive!
