Amelia Earhart Elementary School in the Provo District held its second annual Read-a-Thon on Thursday, December 8, 2011. The goal of the Read-a-Thon is to have one adult read to every child in the school for a half an hour. Parents were joined by community volunteers, including members of the school and district staff, the Provo School Board, the Provo mayor, city employees, police officers, a legislator and Utah Superintendent of Public Instruction Larry K. Shumway.
The event shows students that reading is important and their parents and members of the community care about their education. It's also an opportunity to encourage adults to take time to read to the children in their lives. The volunteers also received tips on how to read to children.
Here are the Amelia Earhart Elementary Read-Aloud Commandments:
1. Spend at least 10 wildly happy minutes every single day reading aloud.
2. Read at least three stories a day; it may be the same story three times. Children need to hear a thousand stories before they can begin to learn to read.
3. Read aloud with animation. Listen to your own voice and don't be dull, flat, or boring. Hang loose and be loud, have fun, and laugh a lot!
4. Read with joy and enjoyment; real enjoyment for yourself and great joy for the listeners.
5. Read the stories that the kids love, over and over and over again. And always read in the same "tune" for each book, with the same intonations on each page, each time.
6. Let children hear lots of language by talking to them constantly about the pictures, or anything else connected to the book; or sing any old song that you remember; or say nursery rhymes in a bouncy way; or be noisy together doing clapping games.
7. Look for rhyme, rhythm, or repetition in books for young children, and make sure the books are really short.
8. Play games with the things that you and the child see on the page, such as letting kids finish rhymes, and finding the letters that start with the child's name and yours, remembering that it's never work; it's always a fabulous game.
9. Never ever teach reading, or get tense around books.
10. Read aloud every day because you just love being with your child, not just because it's the right thing to do. This is as important for fathers as it is for mothers!

Not long ago, GCC students Brian and Kimberlie Morris were living in their car. Support from the GCC Educational Foundation and a Germanna Guarantee Program scholarship have given them hope. Kim Morris is a top student at the college. and Brian Morris is also doing well. "You're doing exactly what we expected of you," GCC President David A. Sam said. Kim Morris has made the President's List and is being inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa international honorary society.
The Morrises, who were homeless as recently as 2005, are already following Buffett's example and paying it forward, by helping others in need.
"Someone gave us a chance," Kim Morris said. "If we give others a break whenever we can."
The couple practices "freecycyling," taking items others don't need and getting them to those who do need them.
The Germanna Guarantee Program is largely funded by Scholarship Monte Carlo Night, which will be held in 2012 from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on April 21 at the GCC Daniel Center in Culpeper.
