Schools that had the highest percentage of program finishers (in relation to their enrollments) received a check for $800 to put toward school literacy projects and a beautiful glass trophy to display. Additionally, because the community surpassed its collective reading goal of 30 million minutes, Foothills Animal Shelter received a check for $500.  Students that participated in the summer reading program received a variety of prizes to include a book of their own choosing, coupons to Lakeside Amusement Park, and a student ticket to a Colorado Rapids soccer game along with coupons to various restaurants.

Next Steps...

Our partnership does not end with summer reading, JCPL Librarians & Jeffco DTLs continue to partner and find ways to connect for our staff, students and community members.  Look for engaging activities to include aligning Jeffco curriculum & JCPL resources to include reading initiatives, databases for primary and secondary students, and in person activities (STEM for Girls, Harry Potter BreakOut boxes, & more!)
