Students take Global Reading Challenge
Teams of fourth and fifth graders from Shoreline School District Elementary Schools will vie for the title of Shoreline School District champions in King County Library System’s seventh annual “Global Reading Challenge” at 10 a.m. March 1 at the Shoreline Public Library.
A team representing each school has advanced to this next round of the challenge after participating in a quiz bowl based on 10 books given to the school by the youth librarians from the King County Library System.
The winning team from this round will represent their district at the Regional Challenge, which will be held later this month to determine the participants in the Grand Challenge. Winning teams from the four regional challenges will compete in the final on March 30. Grand Challenge winners will take back to their school a trophy and a gold medal neck drape for each team member.
In 2001, the first Global Challenge in King County was initiated with two schools and 42 students. This year the program will involve approximately 50 schools and 1,350 students.
This event is sponsored by the King County Library System and the King County Library System Foundation.
Preschools host open houses at SCC
The public is invited to open houses hosted by four of the eight Parent Education /Co-op Preschools affiliated with Shoreline Community College. They are from 10 a.m. to noon March 3.

All other cooperative preschools associated with the college (Lake Forest Park, Inglemoor, Crystal Springs and Woodinville) need to be contacted individually to learn when they will host their open houses. The preschools offer programs for children from birth through age five.
The college offers a parent education program that consists of a child-centered preschool laboratory setting and adult-centered lectures and discussion groups.
