Summer Reading Program Overview

Pre-K through 5th grade
The Summer Reading Program is for kids in Pre-K through 5th grade. With parental permission, kids can sign up for the program, pick up a Summer Reading packet which includes a reading log, information sheet and calendar of events, a bookmark, and a small prize. Additional reading logs can be picked up as needed.
Grades Pre-K to 2nd may count the number of books they read (picture books). 1 book = 1 spot on reading log. When your reading log is full, turn it in for a prize!
Grades 2nd-5th can count minutes of reading (chapter books) 20 minutes = 1 spot on the reading log. For every 25 spots filled in the reading log, students may come in and get free book! Finish the reading log and get a prize!
