Show Page A10 Thursday, March 19, 1987 Park Record W Middle schoolers choose favorite books by SENA TAYLOR Record staff writer Student book critics of Treasure Mountain Middle School have selected their favorite books as part of a national project called "Children's Choice" which evaluates the kinds of books children like to read. After reading the books, students marked ballots as to the books' qualities, then wrote a few paragraphs about the books. "The program seemed to be well received by the kids," said Pat Horyna, who helped coordinate the program at the middle school. "The ballots were well done in terms of the comments given. They showed some genuine critiquing. The library also benefitted benefit-ted because close to 200 hard-back books were added through the program, pro-gram, and that really helped beef up our number of titles." Children's Choices The winning books as judged by fourth and fifth graders included The Trouble With Dad by Cole, Incognito In-cognito Mosquito Takes to the Air by Hass, The Anti-Peggy Plot by McKean, The Good Day Mice by York, and Ferret in the Bedroom, Lizards in the Fridge by Wallace. Sixth through eighth grade students selected Hello, Me by Selden, Loveletters to My Fans by Parker, I've Got Your Number by Regan and Spacecamp by Claro. All of these books are now in print, but were released for this program initially, in-itially, before hitting book store shelves. Children's Choices has been implemented im-plemented in five sites across the country, and the University of Utah has coordinated the program for Salt Lake City. (The Park City School District and the Granite District are the only districts to participate par-ticipate in Utah. Five hundred students are allowed to participate per site.) The last step of the Children's Choices program is for the students to write short narratives on the top selections. These narratives will be sent to and published in the Reading Teacher magazine. The entire program pro-gram is sponsored by the International Interna-tional Reading Teachers Association. Happy Birthday Girl Scouts About 115 Girl Scouts from Park City adorned the steps of the State Capitol Building March 12 along with hundreds of other Utah scouts who helped kick off the 75th anniversary of the organization. The huge group of girls, who released a sky full of balloons from Capitol Hill last Thursday, were not the only ones celebrating they were a part of a worldwide event called the Promise Pro-mise Circle in which members gathered to recite the Girl Scout Promise. Throughout the year, the 75th anniversary will be celebrated with the theme "Tradition with a Future." Nearly three million scouts nationwide and overseas will celebrate the anniversary with projects that include time travel activities, in which they will will explore "the" history of" scouting with former scouts. The Utah Girl Scout Council serves 10,500 girl members and 3,200 adult volunteers. There are 840 troops throughout Utah and Fredonia, Ariz., and scouting has been active in the state for 65 years. According to Brenda Richards of Park City, there are 154 Girl Scouts from this area. That number is broken down into one Daisey troop (kindergarten), four Brownie troops (first through third grades), three Junior troops (fourth through sixth grades) and one Cadette troop (seventh grade). Richards said Cadette Troop No. 317 of Park City helped inflate in-flate the 3,000 balloons that were released. a m -sfL 4 Ml $ IS PI LA . tt J. ft? - s "A, . 't - fix , v r " VHP-' .
