The deadline for turning in items is Friday, Oct. 22 at 3:00 p.m. Of course, you may return them any time prior to that. However, once you have made a turn-in you cannot add to it later. For ex., you find and turn in 10 items. The next day you find 2 more items. You cannot turn those in.

Good luck!

TEEN READ WEEK 2010

What?
Scavenger Hunt

When?
October 18 – 22, 2010

Who?
Any student at Westmoreland Middle that chooses to participate

Why?
To celebrate Teen Read Week and have some fun!!!

How?
You will be given a list of items to find and will have a few days in which to find them.
You may go it alone or partner up and form a team.

Everyone who participates and turns in at least 8 items on the list will be entered into a drawing for an individual prize.

The person or team who is the first to turn in all items on the list will win the grand prize of $25. If you are a team you will, of course, have to share the prize.

You should not go out into neighborhoods unaccompanied. Make sure you have a parent with you.

You may not buy (or allow your parents to buy) or steal items. That would be cheating. You should either ask for them or find items that are free, such as things you would find in nature. If you cheat it will take the fun out of it and you will not feel good about yourself.

Where?
The hunting may be done wherever your parent(s) chooses. The turn-in spot is our school library beginning Tuesday, Oct. 19 at 7:30 a.m.
