Courtesy of of SOAR Reading grant and the RJHS Library, each 9 weeks, students have the opportunity to win brand new free books and chances to win a Kindle Fire at the end of the semester. They can also earn a spot at the quarterly reward event. Here is how it works!

Students read a novel of thier choice and then fill out and submit the #RSDREADS Google form, by completing each task in each section of the form.

Each time students complete ONE #RSDREADS Google Form, they earn a brand new free book and ONE ticket to win a Kindle FIRE at the end of the semester. If students complete TWO #RSDREADS each 9wks, they get to be a part of the quarterly reward event!

They will need then daily as a student at RJHS. These badges are used in the cafeteria to charge lunch accounts, in the library to check out books, and with our Technology department to check out and repair laptops. Please remind your student(s) to keep their ID badge with them in a safe place every day.
