FoCo Summer Reading Plan
This year, there are just 3 items for you to add to your website and promote via social media to all of your parents.
- The 2019 Summer Reading Infographic-provides research, parent resources, book selection tools, links to all the Public Library activities, and an amazing video for students in grades K-12.
- The 2019 Summer Reading Poster- contains 5 tips for summer reading in all grade levels and a QR code that links to the Infographic. Three 11x17 posters will be provided to each school. Media Specialists will pick them up at their meeting on May 3rd. Please hang the posters at your school and upload the digital version to your website and social media.
- The 2019 Local Author Summer Reading Video- a 4 minute video explaining the benefits of reading for enjoyment in all grades. This video is also part of the Infographic. Please play this video to your students and upload it to your website.
Thank you to EVERYONE!
The Sawnee Family has shown up big this year for Dr. Nix and the Admin Team wants to say THANK YOU! From monthly gifts, to dressing up, to the most magical retirement party ever - each member of this staff has shown Dr. Nix how much she means to Sawnee and this community!
We would like to give a huge shout-out to Amy Sanford, Kelly Whitlow, Jennifer Worful, Kyla Coram, and Sharon Hamilton for the tremendous amount of time they spent planning and setting up for Dr. Nix's party! Also, a special thanks to Crystal Chester and Brent Odum for jumping in without hesitation when we needed more support.
