AND

Go Green!
Miss Lorie's 2011 Summer Reading (and Read-to-Me) Challenge!

Last summer Miss Lorie set the challenge at 333,000 minutes, and the kids read past that and more. Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances,
we were unable to complete the dunking challenge. So, this summer, let’s try again! And, Miss Lorie will make it interesting:
If the kids in the Summer Reading Club read (or are read to) for 333,000 minutes,
Miss Lorie will dye her hair GREEN with permanent color in time for the Summer Reading Challenge final celebration!

Registration begins in the Children’s Room on Monday, June 27 and reporting begins on Tuesday, July 5.
For more details stop by the Children’s Room, email lodonnell@midyork.org, or call Miss Lorie at 336-4570.
So, are you up to the challenge?? Then, you’d better get reading!!
