Fall 2020 Competition - UPDATED INFORMATION!!!
We are looking forward to participating in the VIRTUAL Fall High School Reading Competition to be held virtually on - Wednesday, January 27, 2021.
We will meet in Mrs. Diehl's classroom in the middle school after school to eat dinner - PLEASE PACK AND BRING YOUR DINNER!!!!! It can be stored and anything heated in Mrs. Diehl's room. We will then move to the room from which we will be competing. (TBA) Competition will begin promptly at 4:30 p.m.
There will be three rounds - each approximately 45 minutes in length. We should conclude by @ 7:30 p.m. Upon completion of the competition, you can leave via your own vehicle or be picked up outside of the Middle School entrance.
Our team will work together, wearing masks, using my laptop for our Zoom competition rounds. Mrs. Boehnke and Kathryn Boehnke will be our team volunteers to act as moderator and scorekeeper for other high school teams.
Thank you SO much for your participation! Read, Read, Read!
***Remember, Mrs. Fabyanic NEEDS your permission slip to participate due to the video Zoom nature of this competition!

Team Member Requirements & Information:
1. Each team member MUST read 5 - 7 books (or more) in the Fall, re-read/review those books closer to the competition date, and review the printed quizzes/summaries!
2. We will meet to periodically review who read what and plan to cover all our bases in September, October, and November.
3. We will then meet prior to the competition to practice and to determine spokespersons in November.
Our Berlin HS Reading Competition Team members continue to represent BBSD well and enjoy meeting students from other area school districts participating in this event! Despite the competition and stress of questions being "fired" at them about 30 books, the students rise to the challenge and have a great time!
Are you ready to have a good time reading? YES?! Then join our ranks for the Fall Reading Competition!
Here is what you need to do:
*Sign up in the Learning Hub (HS Library).
In the back room in the HS Library:
*Take the book listing.
*Choose book(s) to read, sign your name by it on charts up on back of shelf across from the back room door, and then sign it out of the Library.
(The ideal is to have 2 to 3 people reading each book, so that one person doesn't have to remember EVERYTHING!)
*READ, remember what you read, and ENJOY!
(I am not requiring you to take notes or write questions, but if those kinds of things help you to remember, don't hesitate!)
*You can touch base with Mrs. Fabyanic (@ 8:05 - 8:20 a.m.) in her room any morning.
(E014 - Elementary Building, 3rd/4th grade hallway, pass the gym and elevator, down the steps, and I am the third room on the left side!)
I would love to see YOU on our fantastic BBHS Reading Competition Team!
