40 Book Challenge
​We are encouraging students to participate in the
​40 Book Challenge this year and read from a variety of genres.  Each student has a 40 Book Challenge log in his/her AR folder.   Students must pass the AR test and have their ELA teachers sign their logs.  Students have until the last AR deadline of the school year to complete this challenge.  They can read ANY books they would like to read as long as they read the required number in each genre. Once a student finishes the challenge, he/she must show the ELA teacher.  The ELA teacher will email Mrs. Jones and she will call you to the library to receive a 40 BC shirt, take your picture for the website/social media, and announce your name over the intercom. This year's deadline is May 8, 2020.
​
​Please let Mrs. Jones know if you need help finding a book!

  • Battle of the Books: Students who read at least FIVE of the titles by April 9th will be allowed to join a team for the Battle of the Books (BOB).  Students will compete on teams against each other school-wide.  The winning team from LOM will compete against other area schools in a district tournament LOM Battle of Books is April 29, 2020, and the District BoB will be on May 7, 2020 at the LPPS SUMA Center in Satsuma, LA.
