Our annual Mark Twain Readers Club Awards party is coming up on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. This is a voluntary club where 4-6 graders choose to read a recommended reading list of 12 books from the Missouri Association of School Librarians and take a quiz to join the club and receive prizes based on their level of involvement. I am happy to say we have an unprecedented number of students in this club this year, 35 at the time of this writing.

In past years I have purchased the rewards out of my own pocket, but with the number of participants this year, I am looking for sponsors to support the Mark Twain Readers Club. I’ve calculated the numbers of pizzas, ice cream, and candy bars currently needed and what I anticipate needing by the deadline to join this club, April 30, 2026. I’m hoping to raise $150 to reward the students who have been working hard. If you are willing to support these students, you can contact me directly @ melam@oakridge.k12.mo.us. Thank you in advance for your support.
