Reading Club Thank You 2018/2019!
In total the kids logged 762,860 minutes this school year. This is more minutes than a year has!
Thank you to everyone who participated and to Claudia Ulloa and Paula Henderson who helped me along the way wit logging pages, bagging buttons and the like. I have a couple new ideas for next year and really could use some extra help to make it happen and to just keep up. Please get in touch if you can chip in, in any way.
Even though the school year is almost over keep on reading over the summer! Below is a list of Summer Reading Programs in the area (or online). Take your pick and read on.
Questions let me know and have a great summer!
