Summer Reading Stars!

These star readers went above and beyond this summer by either participating in the Durham public library's summer reading program or the DPS Summer reading initiative. The students kept track of their reading and then turned in their reading log to Miss Stitsinger during the first week of school. Today the students were recognized by Mr. Copeland on the morning announcements and came to the Media Center to receive their prizes. Each student was awarded a certificate, a gold medal, a bookmark, and a book to keep! Congratulations to these students who made reading an important part of their summer! :)

Summer Reading with Durham READS

Congratulations to 70 of our fourth and fifth graders who participated in a summer reading program sponsored by Communites in Schools of Durham (http://www.cisdurham.org/). These students were mailed 10 books over the course of the summer and they wrote postcards after finishing each book to tell about their reading. The students celebrated their hard work today with pizza in the Media Center. They were also awarded a gold medal for their success! Thank you Communities in Schools for this wonderful opportunity!
