Wednesday, July 19, was the final program of our Summer Reading Program 2006, Voyage to Book Island. The children played games, and enjoyed snacks. We held a hula hoop tournament throughout the seven weeks, and the two children with the best times, of those who were present the last day, got to take home the hoops.
Prizes were awarded to all who attended. Rick Bates of the Homer Country Market, Christine Cunningham of the Homer Emporium, David Groth of Fazoli’s in Champaign, and Monical’s Pizza supplied food and prizes for the children.
It is just over one month until school starts again. We encouraged the children to keep reading, even though the Summer Reading Program is over. They will have an easier time when school starts again, than if they neglected to read.
Our thanks to the parents and day care people who brought the children and encouraged them to participate, and to Sue Jones for her assistance.
