So tell me about this crazy club we love to call...
Page Turners
Well Alright!!!
Page Turners is a club in which students read books from an assigned list. We have a lot of fun and twice a year, we all hop on a bus and travel to a far off land (one of the schools in our BOCES district) and answer a lot of questions about books from our list. We do this in a competition style event. Our school's team faces off against teams from other schools. We all compete to see who has the most knowledgeable team! Oh hey, also - the winners of the divisions will get together in May or June to have a final competition!!! ...And did I mention the pizza? You'll have to come to a meeting to find out about the pizza...
...One more thing...if you are interested in visiting the BOCES website to learn about Page Turners in official type language
Middle School or Chapter 2 Teams are composed of students from grades 6 through 8
