Summer READ! Program for Rising 7th and 8th Graders
So far, 24 Irving rising 7th & 8th graders have read and reported 93 titles this summer. These 24 students are eligible for the gift card giveaway! If you’d like to get involved in this program, read the instructions below!!)
Irving Middle School invites you to participate in its Summer READ! Program. Students have the choice to read from among 24 different options on a bingo-type card. When students complete one of the reading options in a square, they use this Google form to report to Irving what they read. For each square that a student completes, one entry will be made for a drawing for one of four $25 Barnes & Noble gift cards. Students may enter up to 24 times, by reading all 24 of the options listed on the bingo card. Students may only win 1 gift card. The winners will be announced and the prizes awarded at Irving next school year. A link to both the bingo card and the Google Form will remain on the Irving school website throughout the summer.
