Illinois Valley Reading Council
Back-to-School Newsletter 2020
Wednesday Webinar Viewing
In keeping with the current protocol for being safe, our council has planned our first event with social distancing in mind. We know that the Morton Cinema is following CDC rules for cleaning and serving food, so we thought it would be in all of our best interest to start the school year with an event that allows us to gather, but stay safely apart in a theater setting. Please join us:
Where: Morton Cinemas
When: September 2, 2020
Time: 6:30 Registration/pick-up your free favorite movie snack
Webinar: 7-8 p.m. "Why Reading Fluency Matters " with Tim Rasinski
1 Professional Development Hour available
No fee
Bring a guest and receive an entry into a drawing for a super-fun movie basket. Your guest could also win a free membership to IVRC when registering to become a member.
Please RSVP - to Regetta Wharram at Wharram@midwestcentral.org
