Library Summer Challenge: School Contest

How to Participate

When registering for the Library Summer Challenge, select the school you or your child will be attending next fall. The points you earn for your activities and reading will automatically count toward the school competition!

Sorry parents and teachers — the School Contest part of the Summer Challenge is only for the students (ages 4 – 18), but please encourage and cheer on your students. Also, group participation will not be counted in the school contest.

School Categories

One school in each of the five categories is awarded a cash prize of $800 from Jefferson County Library Foundation:

• Preschool
• Elementary School
• Middle School
• High School
• Option/Charter/Multi-Level Schools

How to Win

• Only Jefferson County Public Schools are eligible.
• Schools in the Preschool, Elementary, Middle and High School categories must have the highest percentage of finishers to enrollment within their categories to win.
• To account for differences in school sizes, schools in the Option/Charter/Multi-Level Schools category are scored on a weighted combination of finishers to enrollment and registrants to enrollment.
• In the event of a tie (as calculated out 1 decimal point), the prize is awarded to the school with the highest total average number of points per student.
• The latest enrollment numbers reported to the State of Colorado are used.

Jeffco students, it's time to accept the Summer Challenge. Sign up. Choose your school. Read. Log your progress. And win!
