112 K-5 Students Complete Summer Reading Program by reading over 112,000 minutes total

112 students X 1000 minutes of reading equals a summer of literary fun and maintenance or increasing of student reading levels! It also equals an afternoon of wet, wet fun known as the Splash Bash for those 112 summer readers! Students spent an extra week of anticipation after a disappointing rainout on the original date, but the beautiful day on Thursday, Aug. 27 was worth the wait!


This could not have happened without our summer readers, but it also could not have happened without our sponsors that paid for 4 books in each summer reading packet and the equipment for the Splash Bash! KES thanks: Target Stores, J.J. Marketing (Star-Walk Entertainment), Scholastic, Inc. Ozark Mountain Bank, The Presley’s and The Track Family Fun Parks for their grants, donations and discounts! Also, the Splash Into Summer Reading Event is now part of the Center for Summer Learning’s National Summer Learning Day!
