We had so many students participate in our Summer Reading Program this
year that we actually held TWO parties - one for the lower grades and
one for the upper grades! Students who sent a summer reading picture
received their choice of a hard cover book. Everyone went down the line
and choose their prizes - at least two paperback books and one hard
cover book, plus some toys, trinkets, and of course, everyone got a
Kellogg's cereal bowl again this year. (Thanks to my wonderful
brother-in-law!)
In addition, we had over 800 books checked out of the library for the summer!!! This makes me SO happy - those books were not lonely all summer - they were loved! We had a great response to trying this and I am already planning on offering it again next summer.
Here are some pictures from our celebration.
