Book your Summer: Summer is a time to rest, play…and read! This year, FCPS has
introduced a new and exciting summer reading program called, “Book Your
Summer.” Book Your Summer runs June 27 –
September 7 and offers a variety of ways for your child to participate in
summer reading, from reading different styles of books to visiting the library
or drawing a picture of something they’ve read about. Each student who completes and submits a READ!
Card online will be entered into a drawing at their school for $50 worth of
books or a laptop computer of their own. For more information on how to
participate and details of the program, go to www.fcps.edu/isbook. The cards were sent home in the Friday folder a few weeks ago.
