HALE – Hale Elementary School hosted two summer reading camps this year. On June 27, thirty students from grades K-6 attended along with six elementary staff members. The themes for the day were National Symbols and Ice Cream. Students had fun completing activities based on making ice cream and learning about our nation’s symbols. The students were also able to read books of their choice with flashlights in tents.
On July 11, the camp day was based around Dav Pilkey and his book Dog Breathe. Students watched videos, had a book read-aloud, and completed activities based on the book. The students again were able to read in tents using their flashlights.
Lunch was provided both days to the students. In addition to the camp days, K-5 students are completing a reading program called Kids Read Now. They will receive nine books of their choice to read over the summer. These books are theirs to keep at no cost to the families. The students who call in and report the books they have read over the summer will receive a certificate in the fall.
