Summer Reading Kickoff
Scholastic Summer Reading Program begins this week!
First Lady Karen Pence donates 500 books!
This morning, Mrs. Pence came to TPCA to help us kick off the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge and donated 500 books to the students at TPCA to help them succeed in their summer reading! We are thrilled and honored that she has chosen our school to be the ambassador for this program in the state of Indiana. Together, we can be the #1 school in the state of Indiana for reading minutes again this year. Our goal is to reach 500,000 minutes!
Today, your student is bringing home a packet of resources including:
- A bookmark with their own username and password to use on the Scholastic Summer Reading website, www.scholastic.com/summer
- A letter outlining the program
- Summer reading bingo sheets just for fun to encourage your student to keep reading!
- Choice of log sheets to use in tracking minutes
- Reading lists and suggestions
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?

Just bring it to the party!
