Summer Reading
Park View's library teacher, Miss Mau, spoke with all classes this week about the importance of reading over the summer and shared the summer reading program run through the Glen Ellyn Public Library. Questions about registering for their program should be asked to the GEPL staff.
Each student has a flier that shares other ways to get books (besides your public library) and also includes a reading incentive from Nothing Bundt Cakes. The Freebie Guy shared this information about other summer reading incentives. Happy reading!
From June 10 to June 28, all CCSD 89 students are invited to check out books from the library at Park View. The Park View library will be open from 8 to 11 am. Monday through Friday to read or check out books. Any student currently enrolled in CCSD 89 (preschool through seventh grade during the 2023-24 school year) is invited.
