Elementary School Offers Summer Reading Program
A summer reading program for students entering kindergarten in 2008 through current sixth graders will begin this summer, according to Misty Kinnibrugh, GCISD Testing/Curriculum Director.
With a theme of “Get a Clue About Reading (mystery),” the program will be Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m. – 12 on June 10, 17, 24; July 1; Aug. 5 and 12. Students will be able to ride summer school buses to and from the school on those days.
The basic daily schedule includes book check out time, free reading and AR testing time, stories and crafts, games, books on tape or video, and snacks.
Students who attend will have their name entered into drawing for prizes and those who meet their reading goals will attend the field trip at the end of the summer reading program.
Opportunities for Secondary Students, Too
Students in grades 7-12 can volunteer for the GCES Summer Reading Program and assist teachers with crafts, reading, and student testing. Many scholarship opportunities available to students for college require community service and volunteer hours; this program would be a great way to get volunteer hours!
