Special Opportunity for Summer Reading!

Shrewsbury Public Schools’

Summer R.E.C.E.S.S.
(Reading Everyday Can Ensure School Success)

The Shrewsbury Public Schools, in partnership with the Shrewsbury Public Library, will once again offer a special reading opportunity for students entering grades K-6. This popular program, in its eleventh year, attracted more than four hundred children last summer!

All sessions correspond with the Summer Reading Booklist and the grade level, which your child will enter in the fall.

Interested students may enroll in one or more sessions to join in a shared reading experience with a volunteer. A discussion and or creative activity will follow. Enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis. Students are invited to attend one or more than one session, based on their required book(s).

Preregistration is required by using this online method, new for Summer 08. Use link below!

All sessions will meet at the Shrewsbury Public Library in the large second floor meeting room. Please encourage your child to bring a copy of the book if possible. The schedule of morning, afternoon, and evening sessions follows. During the session children are expected to behave appropriately. If you think your child may have a difficult time sitting quietly and focusing, please plan to stay and assist. An adult will need to escort all children attending the kindergarten session to the meeting room. It is important to arrive and depart promptly because there will be no before or after session supervision. As always, please consider carpooling, biking or walking with your child since parking is limited.

Summer reading books will be available at local bookstores, and at the Shrewsbury Public Library Children’s Room. Sixth grade summer reading materials are located in the Young Adult Room. If your child is in fourth, fifth or sixth grade, please assist your child in reading at least the first chapter of the book before attending the session. Thank you for your continued support of the Summer R.E.C.E.S.S. program!

Sincerely,
Beth Waye & Lisa Manley-O’Brien
