Get Ready For Summer Reading!

     Continuing a great school-community partnership, librarians from the Lakewood Public Library visited Horace Mann on May 28th with an important mission:  Get kids excited about summer reading! Julie Strunk and Eric Knapp made grade level presentations from preschool to 5th grade, sharing details about the summer reading challenge.  This year, it has a superhero theme:  Unmasked!

     By logging the hours they spend reading, students can win prizes such as coupons for places like Books-A-Million and Menchie's.  I talked to a few 4th and 5th graders afterward, and they liked the sound of that!  To help get students on the road to checking out books (and e-books), each students in grades K-5 has been pre-registered at the library.

     There are other great programs for children and their families this summer, including a Lego robotics camp, and free movies like The Incredibles.  Here is a link to the Lakewood Public Library website for lots more information:  http://lakewoodpubliclibrary.org/.

     Thank you, Lakewood Public Library, for visiting us this week.  We look forward to reading for fun all summer long!  Here are a few pictures of Ms. Strunk presenting (wearing her own superhero cape) to the 5th graders:

 Here is the summer reading club brochure received by all K-5 students:
