LIVE CHAT! Summer Challenge

Posted by Ink Splot 26 Editor on June 17, 2009 3:10 PM in About Us | Live Chats | News

STACKS Live Chat: March 14, 4-5 pm ET, Talk in real time all about Book-to-Movie Adaptations with other STACKS members!

Summer's in full swing . . . Have YOU taken Scholastic's Summer Challenge?

If yes, then join us for a LIVE chat on the STACKS -- all about Summer Challenge. Which Summer Challenge featured books have you read? What other books are you planning to read this summer? How many points have you earned for your team? Which mascot kicks the most butt?

And if you haven't signed up for the Summer Challenge competition yet . . . well, get on it! Join the Summer Challenge and then join us for the LIVE chat!

WHEN: Saturday, June 13, 4-5 p.m. (ET) / 1-3 p.m. (PT)
TOPIC: Summer Challenge

And did we mention that you might earn POINTS for your team if you join the chat? That's right — the team with the most members on the chat will get 1,000 bonus points! (Hey, we're all for world peace, but that doesn't mean we can't stir up a little friendly competition, right?)

— STACKS Staffers

UPDATE: 6/12 — MAKE YOUR TEAM MASCOT YOUR CHAT ICON!

Hey, guys. We're totally excited for tomorrow's chat — so excited, in fact, that we were considering decorating our office with streamers in the four team colors. But then we realized, "Uh, no one will be able to enjoy that but us . . . " So instead, we've come up with something that EVERYONE can enjoy: now you can choose your Summer Challenge team mascot as your icon for the chat and on the message boards!

How to make your team mascot your icon:

Go to the STACKS message boards.
Sign in.
Click the "My Icon" link.
Go to the "Symbols" section.
Click on the mascot for your team. Voila!

OR, if you're already signed in to THE STACKS, just click here to choose your icon.

See you all tomorrow!

UPDATE: 6/13 — Thanks for joining the chat, everyone! We'll be posting the transcript soon -- plus announcing which team had the most members join the chat, to earn 1,000 bonus points! Go, Chickens! (That's an inside joke for those of you who were on the chat. You'll get it when you read the transcript . . . )

UPDATE: 6/13 — Check out the transcript, and congratulations to the BLUE and PURPLE teams, who tied for the most number of participants in the chat! Blue and Purple teams were each awarded 1,000 bonus points.

Hey My mom just signed me up for this and now we can't figure out how to list our books or anything about how the STACKS program actually works. I get the team captain names on the bottom with a blank screen piece at the top
