For general information about OBOB at Byrom see here.
As a parent the most important thing you can do is to encourage your child to read which may include reading to or with them!
There are also a number of other volunteer roles that are very important to the success of OBOB at Byrom some of which are listed below. If you are interested in helping with any of these or would like to learn more please send email to byrom.obob@gmail.com
We ideally want at least 2 readers for each book. If you are interested, email the book titles you would prefer and you will be added to as a summer reader and question creator. The summer reader information page is here with links to where you can submit your questions.
The questions created by summer readers are very important for OBOB and are used in the following ways:
In the fall all the created questions will be reviewed so they are ready to be used by the students
You can help out weekly, every-other week, once a month or just be a sub, it all helps! Every grade level meeting needs volunteers to perform the following:
Once practice battles start we run as many battles as possible every week in each grade level. In the past we have had up to 7 teams in a single grade which means 3 battles were going at once every week!
Each practice battle requires 2-3 volunteers
Friday, May 13 @ 5:30
If you know you’re attending the Byrom Carnival on Friday, May 13, a good idea is to purchase entry bracelets and food tickets early. There will be early sales after school on Tuesday and Wednesday (May 10 and 11) in the cafeteria. Bracelets are $5 with food tickets $1 (pizza costs 2 tickets, drinks/popcorn/ice cream cups are 1 ticket). Cash and check accepted.
There still are volunteering opportunities available and Katy Collins could use your help to make this an incredible evening for our kids. Contact her at 3katycollins@gmail.com if you have some time on that Friday.

Book fairs are our library’s primary source of operating funds. New books, library science materials and even shelving are all supported by the fair. It is also our goal to provide the opportunity for every student to have a book in their hands and know the joy of reading for pleasure and adventure.
Students will have preview days for the fair during their library times 10/27-10/29.
Through Google Play or the Apple App Store, you can also download the Scholastic Book Fair app for your phone. You can scan book covers or barcodes to view product information. It will recommend age, grade and appropriate reading levels for books with summaries, prices and book trailers.
Thank you in advance for helping make our MONSTER BOOK FAIR a success. Preview fliers and online order information will be sent home with your child.
