• WELCOME STUDENTS!

     

    Are you ready to go on a river cruise this summer? How about seven cruises? If you’re on this website, you’ve taken the first step of your Journey into Reading, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore the world through fun activities that will challenge and engage you.

    The first step is to get your passport ready, available to print on this website. That’s the document that will help guide your travels and take you to the starting ports. Along the way, you’ll be reading, creating, imagining, and generally having fun as you learn a little about each river.

    Because this is Your Journey, you get to choose how you want to spend your time on each river. The options are numerous, like making a flip book, designing your own musical instrument, cooking a recipe or simply reading a book. All of these choices will help you Travel the Seven Rivers and open the doors to new ideas and adventures.

    So get out your passport and hit the water. Each time you complete an activity, check it off in your passport. To be eligible for a prize drawing, students should complete at least one activity and read one book per river and turn in their passports to school in August.

    If you need help, come back and visit this website often. Over the summer, we’ll be hosting special events and listing them here where you’ll have a chance to complete activities in your passports.

    Remember, it’s a big world out there with plenty to see and do. So start your Journey into Reading and you’ll be going places.
