I thought you all might like a little positive news regarding education in Oregon. You can read the article in full below or online at the StatesmanJournal.com . Here are a few key points I copied and pasted directly from the article: * [Oregon set] a historical record for minority students taking the SAT. * Oregon ranks 22nd among states for the number of students taking the exam * Oregon's writing score of 499, same as last year (national average was 489) * Oregon's critical reading score of 520, down three points from last year (national average was 497) * Oregon's math score of 521, down three points from last year (national average was 514) Here are some things this article got me thinking about regarding libraries: * They praise the role of "rigorous coursework" in achievement on the SATs (which is critical for success). However, there is no mention of the value of free voluntary reading which research shows has a significant impact on improving reading skills. I wonder how many of those teens who scored well on the SATs also read for fun, use their school or public library for entertainment and/or to pursue a personal interest, or participate in teen library programs? * Why did Oregon set the record for minority students taking the SAT? I'm sure rigorous coursework had a significant impact, but what other support did those students get that helped them develop the skills needed for academic success? Oregon libraries strive to reach out to minority populations, particularly minority children and teens and their parents. How are these efforts contributing to academic success too? Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 StatesmanJournal.com Editorial Blog Oregon's SAT performance scores remain highest in the nation Oregon sets historical record for SAT exams among minority students (SALEM, Ore.) State Superintendent Susan Castillo today released statewide results of the SAT college entrance exam for 2011 graduating seniors. SAT results show Oregon's performance remains among the highest of states in the nation. Oregon ranks 22nd among states for the number of students taking the exam and also sets a historical record for minority students taking the SAT. This year SAT scores for Oregon students show an overall strong performance with an increase in writing skills while math and reading skills remain consistent with 2010 scores. "I am very proud to see Oregon setting an all time record for the number of minority students signing up and taking the SAT. This shows me we are truly reaching out to all students to improve their readiness for the future," said State Superintendent Susan Castillo. "I do want to see our SAT scores continue to climb and I know with the hard work of students, teachers and parents we can gain those higher scores and continue to support our students in exceeding the national average." * Oregon's writing score of 499, same as last year (national average was 489) * Oregon's critical reading score of 520, down three points from last year (national average was 497) * Oregon's math score of 521, down three points from last year (national average was 514) "The SAT results also show us why a strong foundation of rigorous coursework helps prepare our students for success in school and in the workforce. We must also continue to improve our instruction to statewide educational standards, with renewed efforts by our Governor, to ensure all students get the education they need to become successful," said Castillo. More than 18,754 Oregon students took the SAT, which represents 56 percent of the state's high school graduates. Of the state's 2011 college-bound seniors who took the SAT, 25 percent were minority students, up from 23 percent in 2010 and 20 percent in 2007. The Oregon Department of Education pays for all sophomores to take the PSAT, an exam that predicts student performance on the SAT. For more information on data: www.collegeboard.org/SATPress .

HOW DID IT GO? Thank you for participating! 5,205 children and teens were entered in Destinations College Savings between June 1st and September 2nd 2011. This is down 1,495 entries from last year. However, this summer some libraries only offered their patrons online entries and did not distribute any entry forms or other promotional materials. WHAT'S NEXT? Last week fifteen people were selected in a random drawing as potential winners of a $1,000 Oregon College Savings Plan account (three per congressional district). This week those 15 people are being contacted by the Oregon College Savings Plan and forms are being mailed to them. Winners have 60 days to complete their forms and return them to the Oregon College Savings Plan. Upon receipt of the completed paper work, winners will be verified for eligibility. Those eligible we will be confirmed winners and the library (or branch) indicated on their entry form will be contacted. Those not eligible will not be confirmed a winner and there will not be a re-draw to select another, eligible winner. However, the library indicated on the ineligible entry form that was drawn will still receive the $500 grant for their 2012 summer reading program. That means there may be fewer than 15 winning children/teens, but there will be 15 libraries receiving grants. Libraries with confirmed winners will be provided with a sample press release to promote their winner and will receive a $500 grant. Libraries with winners are encouraged to promote their winner as soon as s/he is confirmed. The State Library and Oregon College Savings Plan will put out a press release promoting all the winners statewide after all of them have been confirmed. The press release will also be emailed to you on this listserv to ensure the library community is informed of the winners. Please keep in mind that 60 days from last week means that winners may not be confirmed until November. QUESTIONS? Kathy Griffin at kgriffin at tiaa-cref.org or 503-477-9710 (Oregon College Savings Plan/TIAA-CREF) Katie Anderson at katie.anderson at state.or.us or 503-378-2528 (Oregon State Library) WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? The Oregon College Savings Plan, the Oregon State Library and the Oregon Library Association are partnering together to present a summer reading sweepstakes each summer. The name of the sweepstakes changes every year to reflect the summer reading theme. In 2011 the sweepstakes was called: Destination College Savings. The sweepstakes is designed to encourage Oregon residents to participate in public library summer reading programs while helping families learn more about saving for college. Parents (or guardians and grandparents) were encouraged to enter Destination College Savings when their child participated in the summer reading program at their local library. They entered by completing a short entry form and dropping a postage-paid card in the mail. All entries had to be submitted by September 2, 2011.

They also get entered in our grand prize drawing for $25 gift cards to the closest mall (we give out 10 grand prizes). Along the way, they can fill out book review slips for books they finish and we have weekly prize drawings for $5 gift certificates to local businesses (we usually draw about 5 names each week).

They could choose which prize cannister to put their entries in, no limit to the number of entries they could earn. At the End of the Summer Party, the entries were drawn for the grand Prizes. The names left over went into the secondary prize drawing so everyone who put in an entry got some kind of prize. Oh, I forgot -- at the last minute we had a donation of three Holly Black books so they went as a single prize. The Hunger Games and Death Note series were also donations. The Friends of the Library paid for the gift certificates. Jeannie Rogers, Woodburn Public Library 503-982-5260 *********************** Tualatin: We give out a free book to each teen who reads for 20 hours. Aimee Meuchel Teen Services Librarian City of Tualatin | Tualatin Public Library 18878 SW Martinazzi Avenue, Tualatin, OR 97062-7092 | (503) 691-3083 | www.ci.tualatin.or.us *************************************** Monmouth: Our Teen Summer Reading Club works this way - they sign up (a statistical/informational gathering step) and get a book. The tracking part of their 'game' is a punch card with 8 potential punches. Each punch = 1 hr of reading. They also have the option of doing other things for their 'punch' (ie. read to someone else, attend a library program, read a library magazine, watch a dvd checked out from the library, volunteer, etc.) They are limited to one of each of these items per punch card. They can read the entire 8 hrs for each punch card if they so choose. They turn in completed cards (all honor system), and can turn in as many cards as they can complete. Each completed punch card (which has their name/phone/email on it) is an entry into the raffle drawing and also the grand prize drawing. The more cards they complete the better their chances of winning. In past years I have done all the raffle prize drawings during the last week of the program, followed by the grand prize drawing after the end of the program. I've also done it where I've drawn a couple cards a week for each week for the raffle prize drawings. It's mostly a function of my time as to how I do the raffle prizes (I am the Youth Services Dept. and I've got a whole lot going on in the summer - ie. this summer, during our 6 week program I put on 32 programs for just over 2000 participants). As for prizes, I provide the book they get at sign-up and I usually buy 3-4 of the theme t-shirts, 3-4 of the Upstart Teen incentive items like the coffee/beverage cup/containers, and I use donated items like coupons from Dutch Bros., Big Town Hero, Subway, and other local food places, Bi-Mart gift cards, etc. for the raffle prizes. I purchase the Grand Prize, which has been a Flip video camera (or Flip-like, depending on prices). The most I've spent on a grand prize is a little over $100. I got a 4-hr Flip HD video camera from Amazon.com for $75 (& free shipping) this year! Krist Obrist, Youth Services Librarian Monmouth Public Library 168 Ecols St. S. Monmouth, OR 97361 kobrist at ci.monmouth.or.us 503.751.0182 *************************** Multnomah: Three rounds of the game, laid out as a path: First two rounds (12 hours of reading) enabled teens to select from coupons, books or toys. * Third round (another 12 hours) = Prize t-shirt or they could select another prize from the coupons, books & toys. They also get to enter the grand prize drawing for a trip for 4 to Great Wolf Lodge or the teen runner up prize of a $250 gift card to the store of their choice. * A fourth "Bonus Round" lets them put a bookplate with their name on it into any library book. Books were randomly purchased from Scholastic. Coupons were provided as inkind donations by various merchants/groups such as the Oregon Childrens Theater, Hot Lips Pizza, Portland Parks & Recreation Swim passes, Mio Gelato, and etc. A small amount of toys (jump ropes, beach balls, alien putty, masks, etc.) were also available. The Library Foundation does the fundraising for us to find sponsors to underwrite the t-shirts, books and toys. Susan **************************** Lincoln City: 20 hours equals a t-shirt 25 hours equals a free book (upick from the cart) each hour read equals a coupon for a prize drawing once a week from local businesses- all coupons go into big jar for grand prizes (ie: shop at the mall $25.00, blow a glass float $65.00) I have wonderful volunteer library Friends that go to businesses to ask for prize donations with a letter explaining what etc. Teena Nelson Driftwood Public Library Lincoln City, OR ***************************** North Bend: At North Bend, kids and teens earn increasingly nicer prize bags as they accumulate hours of reading time. The YA program is separate from the kids, and the prizes are different. The teens often don't care about the prize bags -- what they like are the extra entries to the YA Grand Prize Drawing, where the prizes are all cash. Only 43 teens picked up reading records, but there were bagfuls of entries in the grand prize drawing. The YA reading record has a square to fill in for each hour of reading time. At 4, 10, 16, and 24 hours there's a prize bag that includes some small prizes from the summer reading cooperative catalog, plus an ever-increasing number of entries to the grand prize drawing. (Teens can also enter the grand prize drawing once each day, no reading required.) This year the prize bags were as follows: 4 hours: a baggie with 2 You are Here bookmarks, 2 YAH tattoos, and 4 entry forms 10 hours: baggie with the YAH pencil and sticky pad, an earth eraser, and 6 entry forms 16 hours: baggie with a YAH magnetic bookmark, compass clip, 2 fast food erasers, and 8 entry forms 24 hours: YAH drawstring bookbag with tennis shoe key chain, YAH lanyard, 2 YAH buttons, a coupon for a Papa Murphy mini pizza, a coupon for a paperback book from a local used book store, a ticket to the library swim, and 10 entry forms. (The bookstore belongs to my husband. Hardly anyone redeems the coupon, year after year.) The grand prize drawing had one $50 cash prize, one $30, one $20, and three consolation prizes of the YAH water bottle and a coupon for a paperback book. I've been doing this for over 20 years, but it took me a long time to find out that our teens like cash better than anything else. Next year we're having more cash prizes, and fewer prizes in the incentive bags. Sara B. Simpkins sbsimpkins at hotmail.com Children's Librarian North Bend Public Library 1800 Sherman Avenue North Bend, Oregon 97459 ********************************************** Stayton: At Stayton we had raffles every two weeks. So each book they read was a raffle ticket (a slip they filled out with the book information and prize number they wanted). We stored all our prizes in a display case each had a number. The prizes got better as the weeks went on. I've attached a list of the prizes for all three raffles that we did. We did not have them be present, but called them after the drawing. Most kids came in right away to pick them up. Heydi Smith Stayton Public Library smithx100 at yahoo.com ******************* Albany Young adults picked up a reading log/calendar to mark days when they read, starting June 1st and ending August 31st. Prizes were: 10 days - Little Caesar's Crazy Bread coupon, a paperback book of their choice, a cookie coupon from the Wine Depot, and a college scholarship entry form. 25 days - a book bag, Trailblazer ticket coupon, Blueberry Meadows coupon (free U-Pick blueberries), and a coupon for a free hour of bowling or a free swim at the Cool! Pool. 50 days - a coupon for a Dairy Queen Royal Treat and teen's choice of: 1 hardback book or 2 paperbacks, or a science kit (models to assemble of brain or skeleton, optical illusions, magic tricks, or electric sound kits, gyroscopes, and pet tornadoes), or a $5.00 Starbuck's coupon 75 days - teen's choice of 1 $10.00 I-Tunes card or 1 hardback book or 2 paperbacks, or a science kit, or a $5.00 Starbuck's coupon 92 days (only possible if you signed up on June 1st and read every day) - teen's choice of any 2 different prizes, as supplies lasted. Final day to pick up prizes was September 4. Books came from donations to our Friends of the Library store. Coupons were donated, except for Starbucks and I-Tunes, which we purchased with FOL funds. Gyroscopes and science kits were purchased wholesale from Tedco Toys, and cost less than $5.00 each. Bowling coupons were donated by the bowling alley, but we had to pay for each kid who swam at the Cool! Pool (city-owned outdoor aquatic park). We had 393 young adults register for the program, and 165 of them picked up a prize for reading 25 days. This is the first year that our Children's and Young Adults' Summer Reading Programs counted days of reading instead of hours. When we counted hours, some kids finished the program and picked up their last prize by the end of June. When we counted days, the program lasted all summer, encouraging the kids to keep reading and to keep visiting the library.

Please direct all inquiries about the pen pal club to her: childlib at skowhegan.lib.me.us. Thanks, Jen Jennifer Maurer School Library Consultant Oregon State Library 250 Winter Street NE Salem, OR 97301 503.378.5011 jennifer.maurer at state.or.us OSLIS || www.oslis.org Learn to Research. Research to Learn. Hello fellow librarians! I am a children's librarian from the Skowhegan Free Public Library in Skowhegan, Maine looking to find other children's librarians across the county to help me with a project. I have had an idea to form an old-fashion pen-pal club for kids aged roughly 8-14; but when searching online, I felt like nothing was safe enough, or it wasn't free, or it wasn't quite what I was looking for. So, I thought I would try to create my own. My idea is simple: Search around for a few different libraries, spread across the country, which also have an interest in starting a pen-pal club. We round up a group of kids interested in participating (whether it is 1 or 50!) and have the kids fill out an information sheet with NO last names or home addresses, (keeping it safe!) just hobbies, ages, interests etc. Then all the forms can be mailed/e-mailed back to my library where I can match all the kids with a pen-pal with similar ages and interest from a different state. After that, we can agree to have our pen-pal kids meet at our libraries once a month where they can write/read that month's letter. Then we, the librarians, will collect, and mail (through the post office not e-mail) the letters to the other appropriate libraries. This way, it is safe (no personal addresses or pertinent information is ever swapped) and everyone should write and receive one letter per month. [Deleted] I am really excited and hoping to get at least 5 states to participate. So many kids can't travel and/or don't know the world outside their own little town. I really just want to offer my young patrons a safe way to meet new friends and learn about different people and places. Any feedback/suggestions are welcome and, of course, if you are uninterested in doing this, or just don't have the time or resources, that's okay! Just let me know what you think as soon as possible, so these kids can start writing some letters. My goal is to have this program up and started by the beginning of the new year! Please feel free to e-mail me at childlib at skowhegan.lib.me.us or call me at (207) 474-9072 and chat with me about this idea. Thanks for taking the time to read through my letter. I look forward to hearing from you!
