BLAIRSBURG – To fight the summer slide in learning, Northeast Hamilton Elementary School is opening up its library once a month for students for the Trojans Read! summer reading program.
Students are encouraged to check out up to five books two times during the summer, explained NEH Librarian Lanette Willems. The first opportunity was held June 28 from 5:30 – 7 p.m.. The next library opening will be held on Aug. 2, also from 5:30 – 7 p.m., with students returning books at the beginning of the school year.
“Basically, we are doing this to get the kids reading over the summer,” said NEH Supt./Principal Mike Kruger.
Also available to students are E-Reading options through Capstone Interactive at: www.mycapstonelibrary.com
