Summer Reading Program 2024
Thank you so much for being a part of this year’s summer reading program. This page will serve as your one stop for all resources that you may need to be successful as a volunteer in this year’s summer reading program. We ask that all volunteers arrive as close to 8:45 as possible so that you are in place and ready to go when kids arrive. Below you will find your group assignment, room assignment, co-leaders, links to lessons and which books your group will have for read aloud in group time each week. The schedule is on the lessons linked below. All preschool rooms are in the preschool wing and have the animal listed below painted outside the door to the room. Numbered rooms are all in the elementary hallway. The 4th/5th room is at the far South end of the building between the preschool and elementary wings. Finally, at the bottom is the training video for this year if you haven’t watched it yet. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out and ask!
