The 2016 TroyberysWe are nearing the end of the Troybery program at Troy School District middle schools. In order to vote, students must read at least 3 Troyberys from the 2016 list by April 13. Voting will take place on Wednesday, April 13, at Boulan and Thursday, April 14, at Smith during all hours. ELA teachers will send students who are eligible down to the media center to vote. As an incentive to participate, we will be handing out prizes to students who read 3 or more Troyberys. Those that read ALL ten Troyberys will receive a special prize PLUS will be able to attend an exclusive pizza party during lunch in May! Encourage your child to read all ten to receive this honor. Encourage your child to submit a Troybery project!The 16th Annual Troybery Ceremony will be held on Friday, April 29, at the Services Building. 32 lucky students from each middle school will be chosen to attend from those who voted. This wonderful event will be hosted by student emcees from each middle school; they will be presenting students from the four middle schools who have created Troybery projects and will be asking trivia questions to those in the audience. Also, students' names will be drawn from the registered Troybery voters to win $25 Barnes and Noble gift cards. Students across the district will be able to watch the ceremony live on Troy-TV and find out which book is the Troybery winner! We are looking for student work to showcase at the Troybery ceremony! Please see the following document. Troybery 2016 Projects are due to Mrs. Chatel by March 31. We will choose a few projects to use during the ceremony, and those students will be chosen to attend!
