Dear Gold Rush Parents,
We are pleased to be able to
offer Battle of the Books to the 3rd
through 5th grade students this year. Battle of the Books is a
reading incentive program sponsored by the Douglas County Libraries. It is designed
to expose young readers to quality literature that they may not normally choose
to read. It is an exciting way to get
students hooked on popular authors and introduces exciting new series.
This year we will be starting
with a larger group and allowing the students to compete for places on the
final two teams which will be determined by mid November. Students will have to commit to reading 10
books from the BOTB list by mid December. In addition, students must attend
practice sessions before school at 8:15 am on Thursday mornings. If a student
makes it through to the final 2 teams for each grade, they compete in January
at GRE at a battle hosted by the Douglas County Librarians. The winners will go
on to represent GRE at the interschool battles at the Parker Library!
If interested in
participating in this neuron-pumping marathon, please return the form below to
the library as soon as possible. Space will fill quickly, so please advise
your student to return the form immediately. We apologize in advance for not
being able to take all respondents- we are limited by staffing and building
usage. We will contact all participants
by email after September 17 to provide all pertinent information and the
practice schedule.
We can’t wait to get your student
reading these awesome books!!
Attached is this year’s book
list.
Sincerely,
Gail Golish and Naomi

Battle Of the Books
Battle of the Books booklist
The Douglas County Libraries has released the booklist for the 2016 Battle of The Books.
Those interested in the club do not need to purchase the books, they are available through the Douglas County Libraries. Many parents, however, prefer to buy them. Some of these books can be found in places such as Target but as the season gets going they become harder to find. I recommend Poor Richards Book Shoppe in downtown Parker. They keep up with the BOTB and the Douglas County School District needs.

The Gold Rush Elementary Sign-up letter will go home in next weeks Thursday Folders. We Can't wait to get started.
Back To School
Welcome Back GOLD RUSH!
Hope you have had an enjoyable and relaxing summer. I have been working to make the library an imaginative and creative learning center. This year we are focusing on collaboration. You are going to love this.
