[LM_NET] TARgET: high school

[Carol VanHook <vanhookc@SE-POLK.K12.IA.US>]

Wanting to get a "drop everything and read" time initiated in our school.
There is a big desire to do this in our Language Arts Dept.
Please help me with some statistics.

How many high schools across America have a special time of silence for
everyone to read? How often in a week's time? or month's time? or special
library celebration date?  For how long? What part of the day is best?

Any reflection on how this is special in your school would be greatly
appreciate. I could share resulting comments.

I thought Read Across America would be a great time to have a *D*rop
*E*verything
*A*nd *R*ead Staff and Students! I am looking for some great stats from
fellow teacher-librarians to support my plea to the admin to get this
reading time going!

Thanks  in advance!
