Pictured are Roxhill Elementary School's team "The Bulldogs" won 2nd place in the Global Reading Challenge at the Seattle Public Central Library on March 17th. The Bulldogs will attend the Global Reading Challenge City Final Tuesday, March 29, at 7 p.m. in the Microsoft Auditorium at the Central Library (1000 4th Ave).
The Global Reading Challenge is a Battle of the Books program for 4th and 5th graders enrolled in the Seattle Public Schools. The program encourages children to have fun and enjoy the sport of reading. After reading 10 books, children take part in a "Quiz Bowl" game to determine the winner for the city of Seattle. The winning Seattle team takes home the Global Reading Challenge traveling trophy and goes on to a videoconference challenge between Seattle and Fraser Valley and Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada.
