Hassenfeld Library’s 2021 Reading Challenge runs through the end of April, and many students have completed it already. If you haven’t started the challenge, Spring Break could be the perfect time to catch up. Click to find out how you can participate and view book recommendations in each category.
By Kate Pritchard, MS/HS Librarian

Students, parents, faculty, staff, and all USN community members are invited to participate in the 2021 Reading Challenge. This year’s Reading Challenge has five categories:

1. A book that was made into (or based on) a movie or TV show (recommendations here)
2. A book with an animal on the cover (recommendations here)
3. A book about food or one with recipes (recommendations here)
4. A book with a number in the title (recommendations here)
5. A buddy read: any book that you and a friend or family member read together (free choice)

Read at least one book in each category by the end of April and turn your tracking sheet in to the library for a chance to win a prize. Any kind of book counts for the challenge: picture books, audiobooks, graphic novels, poetry, cookbooks, and any other type of book you can imagine.

Visit the library’s Reading Challenge page to learn more about how the challenge works, to download a tracking sheet, and to get ideas for books in each category.

  • HS athletics recaps for September 11-17

    Tiger golfers have officially qualified for the region tournament, and our other teams are not far behind. Volleyball sits near the top of the district, finishing up regular season play next week with Senior Night. Girls soccer continues to hold first place in the district after another 9-0 win, and our cross country runners are chasing after some school records. To round it all out, our mountain bike team traveled to Oakfield to continue to improve on their times for the season. There’s plenty more where that came from- so be sure to come out to the River Campus, Sperling Gym, or out on the road to cheer on our Tigers before their seasons end.
