Hello NPES readers!

We want you to READ, READ, READ over the summer! A packet full of summer reading suggestions and ideas went home last week.

We will have a Summer Reading Celebration at the beginning of the 2009 – 2010 school year. There are two ways to be invited -

1. Participate in the summer reading program at the Lexington County Public Library. Get your name on the honor roll OR show Mrs. Byrd Fort your public library reading log when we return to school and you will be invited to the celebration!

2. Participate in the No Book Left Unread summer reading program. Just keep track of how many pages you read over the summer on the reading log that was sent home. Bring that reading log to Mrs. Byrd Fort at the beginning of the school year and you will be invited to the celebration!

You don’t have to do both – you can pick one!

Happy reading!

Mrs. Byrd Fort, Library Media Specialist

The Reading Patrol is back home!
Did we catch you reading?

Have a GREAT summer!

Wanted to let you know about some summer reading events coming soon!

First, on June 4 from 3pm – 6pm, you can drop in to sign up for the public library summer reading program at the Main branch of the Lexington County Public Library. There will be lots of fun things going on including a visit from Cocky’s Reading Express, face painting, and crafts! NPE students who participate in the public library summer reading program will be invited to a celebration at the beginning of the school year, so be sure to join!

Second, on June 16 from 5:30pm – 7pm, we hope you can participate in Get Caught Reading! The NPE Reading Patrol will be driving around NPE neighborhoods looking for families spending their summer reading! A permission slip (due June 5) is in the May NPE newsletter. After you turn in your permission slip, download the sign for your door from the NPES Library Media Center webpage. Place the sign on your front door or mailbox to let the Reading Patrol know you are reading!

Not sure what to read this summer? Don’t worry! Mrs. Byrd Fort and Mrs. Platt (NPE Literacy Coach / interventionist) have put together a great list of authors for your enjoyment. Watch for it on the NPE library webpage in the next couple of weeks!

Love,

Mrs. Byrd Fort
