People set and make goals, or say something and make it happen during that year. For example, this new year coming up, I’m going to set a goal that I will try to go and see my dad and my step family more often than I do now. Another goal I would set would be that I would try to treat my mom with more respect than I do now. My mom says that everyone should do a New Year beginning because it really helps you to get to know yourself, and to gain more confidence towards the rest of your life. Last year my brother set a goal at the beginning of the year to bring up his grades, and to be nice to his sisters. Towards the end of the year, he actually did it, and brought up his grades and started to be really nice to my sister and me. Read for the Gold Will Be Coming to a Close “Read for the Gold - Take the Reading Challenge” will conclude Wednesday, January 8 at 7:00 p.m. at the Valley Library conference center. Come and hear author Gary Hogg, win great prizes for having completed your yearly paperwork, and win door prizes just for attending! Read for the Gold is an exciting community-wide service learning reading thrust. Elementary and secondary students in Ogden Valley, parents, community members, seniors, and preschoolers can participate. The Read for the Gold program was developed by teachers at both Valley Elementary and Snowcrest Jr. High to enhance existing reading programs in both schools, and to carry those programs into the realms of volunteerism and community service. It incorporates the flavor of the Olympics as participants earn each level (or ring), and complete criteria for final project goals and awards. Participants from toddlers to seniors should use a criteria sheet and complete it by the end of each academic year. The first “ring” was earned at the end of the 1998 -1999 school year. Student participants complete objectives that include the aspect of volunteerism. They may read to senior citizens, toddlers, and peers. They may volunteer at the public library by offering a book review or puppet show based on a book they read, or create posters or web sites that laud the merits and enjoyment of reading. They may complete their Superintendent Summer Reading Awards, log a certain numbers of hours of reading, and read different genres of books in an effort to improve reading in the Content Areas. Adults can complete similar tasks but can also purchase and endorse books that are then given to a school or public library. They may tape record a book that is needed by a teacher, or once that could be used in a media center. They may volunteer at a school, helping with the school’s reading program, or tutor in this way for curriculum improvement. Each objective carries with it the element of volunteerism and service learning. At the successful completion of criteria for the 1998-1999, 1999-2000, 20002001, 2001-2002 school years, participants will be asked to complete a master’s project for 2002-2003. The project will be an essay. The essay topic is “What Reading Has Done For Me!” Year end awards will include a pin (hopefully a coveted one), and goal completion allows the participant to be included in a drawing for prizes. January 8 awards will include a free trip for a family, dinners at restaurants, books, and many other exciting items! Many adults and children have expressed their excitement and delight in having an organized reading movement wherein they have had specific tasks that will prove to be an invaluable asset to the entire community. Student endorsements have been positive and touching. Many of them have “found” grandmas and grandpas, or have had all the brothers and sisters of the toddlers to whom they are reading gathered at their feet, attentively listening to the reading. New to the program? Complete the form for every year missed, and receive pins that will catch you up to this year. Pins and forms are available at Valley Elementary. “Constitution Class / World” Current events tied to prophecy class Ent e r N ort h side & Ba ck of bldg. M on. - Sa t . 2 P.M . - 6 P.M .
