All kids are invited to participate in the Winter Reading Program.  Here is how it works:

1. Kids read three books of their choice between the dates of Dec.15 and Jan.15.  Books may be from a school library, the public library, a church library or from other sources.

2. Fill out the snowflake-reading log.  (Reading logs are available at the library if one was not received by your child at school.)

3. Return the reading log to the front desk and choose a small gift from the snowman gift basket.
