**Abington High School has a record 6 teams participating in the MCIU 2009 Reading Olympics!!** We are THRILLED!!
====The goal of the Reading Olympics is to increase students' reading for enjoyment. Students collaborate with their teammates to read 45 books that have been selected by a committee of librarians, reading specialists and classroom teachers. The 45 books are chosen to include a wide variety of genres, cultural and historical experiences. These professionals read the books and write questions which teams of students answer during the competition. The Reading Olympics are primarily a celebration of reading rather than a contest. All participants are awarded ribbons. Since the teams generate much excitement about this event, the experience is rewarding for everyone involved.====
