When students pass the test, they receive points determined by the reading level of the book. These points are redeemable at the accelerated reader store for merchandise. Volunteers with Act 34 and child abuse history clearance are needed to assist the students with taking tests, resetting the computer for the next student and answering students' questions. This volunteer program is in operation 4 days a week with the chairperson coordinating all efforts. Top of Page Accelerated Reader Store is set up several times throughout the year.
Students redeem their points for merchandise.
Volunteers are responsible for purchasing merchandise, setting up the store at the beginning of the week, checking inventory throughout the week of the store and taking a closing inventory and putting away store merchandise at the end of the week. The projects are viewed during school hours by the whole student body and in the evenings by parents. Each student who submits an entry receives a participation award and ribbon along with a critique of their project done by an art or science teacher from the district. The chairperson and committee coordinate project drop off, set-up of projects for viewing, project return and awards presentation. This is all coordinated with the Penn Trafford and Manor Police.
