We are off to a great start this summer. Since June 4th (less than 2 weeks) over 800 children have picked up their 3 Hour Prize... A Compass Key Chain . It has been very busy!

If you click on the picture of the Smencils you will see other prizes we have in the Treasure Island Prize Room. Every five hours that you record you are able to choose a book or prizes as different levels.

See you soon!

My goal is to try to read all the books by Jules Verne this summer. I just finished Around the World in 80 Days. I found out they never did travel by balloon in the book. It was only mentioned as an idea. The movies created a different story.

What are your reading goals?

Miss Julie Begins Summer Reading!

Summer Reading began today!

Pick up your reading log or down load it and start recording your reading hours.

If you are one of the first 1,000 who record 3 hours you can pick up your cool compass key chain any time.

Try to read and record at least 5 hours by June 13th to enter our first weekly raffle. Every week that you record at least 5 hours you will have a raffle ticket for prizes drawn on Mondays.

Happy Reading!
