State Rep. Tony McCombie is officially launching her 7th Annual Summer Reading Club for elementary school students who live or go to school in the 89th District. The “Reading BUZZ” program is offered to encourage students to start or continue positive reading habits.
“I hope this program motivates young students in the district to continue to read throughout the summer. This program is meant to challenge, inspire, and bring families together through the stories students read—and I am thrilled we have reached the 7th year of offering this opportunity,” said Rep. McCombie.
Reading BUZZ challenges elementary school students to read eight (8) books before August 11th.
The summer reading sign-up sheets are being electronically distributed now to schools and libraries, or can be accessed online HERE. Participation in this program can overlap with any other summer reading program offered through area libraries, schools, or other organizations.
Participants will receive a special treat to reward them for their reading and will receive a certificate from the Illinois House of Representatives. To participate, a parent or guardian must fill out and sign the form and return it to Rep. McCombie’s office by August 11th: 9317B IL Rt 84, Savanna, IL 61074.
