Reading Olympics Lindsay Shuster

 On March 12, 2015, I interviewed Masterman's Librarian Mrs. Kearney about Reading Olympics. Reading Olympics is a city-wide competition to encourage  reading teamwork for Charter, Public, and Catholic schools. This is for grades 4-8, and is sponsored by PHILADELPHIA READS, The Free Library, the School District of Philadelphia, the Archdiocese and the City of Philadelphia. The two divisions are from grades  4-6, and from grades 7-8, with 10-12 members on each team. Each team is given a list of 15-20 books and they have to read their selection or 5 of those books. At the competitions, each member must answer questions about the books they have read. An example of a book that is in the selection is a Fantasy called, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein. Masterman's team will go to different campuses in May for the competition. Thank you to Mrs. Kearney for this information.
