Hawks need kids books
Hemphill Elementary librarian Lourdes Cervantes reports the Hays CISD Summer School for pre-K to 1st grade is in need of books to be given to students to take home and start their own book collection. “If your children have outgrown their book, we would love to share them with these students,” she says, adding, “Please send them to the Hemphill Elementary Library. It’ll make you ‘tote-ly’ awesome and I’ll give you a great tote for your gift to our students!”
Eagles Pledge 248,000 Reading Minutes
Students at Elm Grove Elementary School plan to read a combined total of about a quarter-million minutes this summer. This is well beyond the pledge goal set by the Elm Grove Elementary Dad’s Club, which sponsors the summer reading program. Two-hundred-three students, including 15 from the incoming kindergarten class, are participating. During the summer, students and parents can track their reading progress at the Elm Grove Elementary Dad’s Club website.
