Piedmont PoetsThis is a program that PTO sponsors to encourage memorization and self-confidence in our Pre-K - 1st Grade students. We have parent volunteers come to the library at designated times to listen to students recite poems. This is a parent/child project, as teachers do not use classroom time to work on poems. Once a student has recited their first poem they will be recognized at Wildcat Wake Up. At the end of the year, the students that have memorized and recited correctly ten (or more) poems get a special field trip!Pre K Requirements - Poems (or Nursery Rhymes) must be at least 30 words (shorter poems are allowed, but only count as half a poem). Kindergarten and First Grade Requirements - Poems must be at least 55 words long (shorter poems are allowed, but only count as half a poem). |

Barefoot BookwormsThis is our summer reading program in conjunction with the Piedmont Public Library. Shortly before school lets out for the summer you will receive a note in your child's backpack. This note will provide the summer theme and the form to fill out for each book read. Each child that completes the program gets to attend a special ice cream party during school in September.Also included in this program is a bookmark contest. Students are encouraged to design a bookmark in May. When school resumes, the winning bookmark is then given to anyone participating in the Barefoot Bookworms summer program. Reading lists need to be turned in by August 31. 2009 Information Sheet (and reading list) |

Stone Ridge Book ClubThe Stone Ridge Book Club (formerly the Birthday Book Club) is an opportunity for children to leave an important and lasting impression by expanding the library of Stone Ridge with what interests them. During the month of their birthday, graduation, or any other memorable event they will be recognized at Wildcat Wakeup and presented with a book that will now be available in the school library. Even better, they will have the opportunity to check that book out first and show it off. The book will also be distinguishable by a personalized book label; this will enable them to show friends and siblings their book for years to come. The Book Club is also a great chance for those who would like to honor the memory of a loved one.As a thank you, your child will receive:
