Emma Ousley Junior Scholar

Award

Students in grades 7- 8 pursuing excellence, may earn the Junior Scholar Award by expanding their reading beyond their required assignments. At the awards assembly in May, these outstanding students are recognized by the entire school and receive a certificate. Their names will also be engraved on a plaque in the library.

To receive the award, the student must complete the following:

1. Read at least 20 books on your reading level and keep a list. (See the Scholar log sheets available in the library)

· Read one book from 10 non-fiction Dewey sections.

· Read books from 10 fiction genres and award lists specified on the log sheet.

2. Complete the reading share sheet for each book not covered by Reading Counts tests.

3. Participate in the Reading Counts Program.

4. Maintain a reading log verified by parent.

· This is an optional challenge to 7^th and 8^th Graders. The completed list is due on or before April 15^th. If you have any questions about this program, please do not hesitate to call me.
