Summer Reading Programs
Our schools have planned a number of reading initiatives for the summer. In addition, our elementary schools should remember to participate in the Summer Reading Challenge sponsored by the Summer Reading Coalition. The winning school will receive a $500 cash award offered by Richard and Steve Heckard with Continuum Capital Advisory. Information was sent to the elementary schools earlier, but it's also posted on the district's website.
Winthrop BB Camp
Winthrop's new boys' basketball coach, Pat Kelsey, will offer camps this summer for children ages 4-6 and for those in grades 2-9.
A new tab titled iROCK can now be found at the top of the district's website. Only the results of the recent teacher survey are posted at this time, but lots of information will be added soon and throughout the summer.
Congratulations to . . .
