In the next few weeks watch for announcements and the form for keeping track of your reading minutes. Then all you need to do is READ! Drop off your tally at your local public library any time during the summer or when you return to school in the fall. Can the students, families, and community members of MSAD #40 - Friendship, Union, Waldoboro, Warren, and Washington - read for 1,000,000 minutes in the summer of 2007? What does reading for 1,000,000 minutes mean? How long would it take one person to do that?? Would it take longer than one summer? Do some math and figure out how many minutes there are in a day, a week, a month, and a year. Then you can figure out how many days, weeks, months, or even years it would take one person to read for a million minutes. When you have the answer, send it in a note to the ADG Office. Your name will go into a summer reading challenge prize drawing, and the answer will be printed here next week. Watch for answers, prizes, and forms next week and...keep READING!! 4th ANNUAL EMS WEEK CELEBRATION WITH CAMDEN FIRST AID WHEN: MAY 19th (SAT.) FROM 9 TO 1 WHERE: CAMDEN FIRST AID ASSOC. 123 JOHN ST.
