5th Grade Wins Library House Cup Challenge
The bulletin board is located outside the library

As you may have noticed, outside the library, there is a bulletin board showing what percentage of the number of books each grade read last year, they have read this year. Not everybody likes this system though.
The third graders look like they are not reading that many books, but their goal is higher than most of the other goals. Last year, the 2nd grade (who are now in 3rd grade) checked out 3,286 books, almost 1,000 more books than the 4th graders (Now 5th graders) did. The then 4th grade checked out 2,257 books last year. That means that 5th grade has already checked out more than 1500 books already. Probably about half of those books were checked out by Ms. Rainey’s class. At that rate, Mrs. Rainey’s class should get to 1,000 books soon which is their class goal.
One main problem with the class goal of 1,000 books is that most fifth graders dislike writing summaries, let alone thorough ones. A lot of people haven’t added a sticker since this system started.
Going back to the Library bulletin board, take your eyes to the bottom. You will see that each grade has a crest. Every grade has made theirs using pictures from the internet, except 5th grade. The Blake Bear Bugle does not know why this is.
Luckily, 5th grade is in the lead. So keep reading, and good luck to all! Fifth grade also won the Highcroft Reading Cup.
