Read Your Way to the Big Game

Help your child qualify to win Palmetto Bowl tickets by participating in EOC’s 2016 Read Your Way to the Big Game contest. Learn more...

Monarch Elementary is participating in a reading contest, Read Your Way to the Big Game. It is a fun way to implement and practice reading skills as the students read for either USC Gamecocks or Clemson Tigers. The students have to read at least 6 books on their reading level to be participants. They can read more than 6, and are encouraged to do so to do well in the contest. Every participant will get a bookmark at the beginning, and a certificate at the end of the contest. Students who participate will be entered into a drawing to win 4 tickets to the Palmetto Bowl game (USC vs. Clemson football) with pre-game activities and sideline passes. Since they have a small chance of winning that prize, the library will have prizes for an overall winner and grade-level winners at Monarc
