the Letters about Literature (LAL) contest, a national reading and writing
promotion program. The letter can be to any author (living or dead) from any
genre (fiction or nonfiction, contemporary or classic) explaining how that
author's work changed the student's life or view of the world.
Prizes
will be awarded on both the state and national levels. The South Carolina
Center for the Book's panel of judges will select the top letter writers in the
state, to be honored in an awards ceremony at a later date. Their winning
letters will be published online at the South Carolina Center for the Book's
website. South Carolina winners will also receive monetary prizes, and then advance
to the national judging. South Carolina winners will receive $100 for
first place, $50 for second place, and $25 for third place in each
level. Submissions from Grades 9-12 must be postmarked by December 2,

Annual Dodgeball Tournament...
The annual Blythewood Middle School Dodgeball Tournament will be held next week during the designated grade-level enrichment periods.
As always, the goal of our dodgeball tournament is to assist Blythewood High School with their Holiday wishes campaign. This year, Blythewood High is doing this a bit different, so what we are asking of students will be a bit different as well. Seeding on the 2nd day of the tournament will determined by the wins and losses of day 1 and the collection of your designated items to give to Blythewood High School.
The project is called PROJECT CONNECT and Blythewood High is actually making boxes to be given to families in need. Blythewood High School will be competing by the number of boxes made at the high school. To assist them in these efforts, we will assist by dividing up the items needed for boxes among our grade-levels and then having homerooms bring in those items. Blythewood Middle School will then make our own boxes after Thanksgiving break to take to Blythewood High School.
Attached is a list of possible items by grade-level. Students are asked to begin bringing these items in.
As always, thank you for your generosity and support in making this an amazing event for our students and for those less fortunate!

Impact Aid Forms...
Richland School District Two schools are funded primarily by local taxes. Due to the large federal presence in our area and the tax exemptions available to federally connected personnel, businesses and agencies; our district is eligible to apply for federal Impact Aid Funds.

The Impact Aid Program funds become part of Richland School District Two's general operating budget and are critical to maintaining high standards for educational excellence.

Please take a few minutes and complete the form for each Richland Two student in your household and return it back Monday. The information you provide on these forms is confidential.
