Again this spring Springfield Township Middle School competed in the
Montgomery County Reading Olympics, a county-wide celebration of
reading. The Reading Olympics encourages students to read and also
gives them the opportunity to compete on a team in an academic activity.
To prepare for the event Middle School participants read from a list
of forty-five middle level books and regularly met in the library
after school to plan, strategize, and practice with their team.
On May 4th, the SMS team of high-spirited Rainbow Reading Pandas
enjoyed a pizza dinner before traveling by bus to Wissahickon Middle
School for three rounds of competition.
Students wore orange team t-shirts with a panda graphic designed by
sixth grader Carly Uehling. At the competition, students displayed
impressive teamwork and knowledge of a wide range of books, and they
had fun working together to win a blue ribbon. Team members were Emma
Colzani, Robert Blatt, Chris Cush, Thomas Freitag, Taye Richardson,
Isabelle Boles, Natalie Doll, Camille Harrison, Evan Quinn, Will
Durham, Andrew Posmontier, Carly Uehling.
