Summer Reading Opportunities Through the Olive-Mary Stitt LMC


We hope that all of our students and staff will make reading for fun a top priority for the summer. Just because school is out, doesn’t mean that our kids should stop reading and learning. Let’s all keep reading for enjoyment all summer long to keep our skills strong. The OMS LMC staff encourages kids to participate in our summer reading programs: Get Caught Reading #1 and #2.  Participation forms will go home with all students currently in grades K-4 in progress report envelopes. Extra printable participation forms, program directions, and a recommended summer reading list can be found by following this link:


Get Caught Reading #1:  Find a cozy or creative place to read this summer.  Have someone take a photo of you reading a book in this spot.  Attach your photo to the participation form and fill out the information telling what and where you were reading. Turn it in to the LMC in the fall and we'll hang up your photo.

Get Caught Reading #2: If you are traveling this summer, we hope that you'll take the opportunity to enjoy a good book or two on your trip.  Have someone take a photo of you reading your book in the new state or country that you are visiting.  If possible, take your picture in front of a tourist attraction or landmark.  Attach your photo to the participation form and fill out the information telling what and where you were reading.  Turn it in to the LMC in the fall and we'l hang up your photo. 


Participation in these programs is optional but encouraged.  Students may participate in one or both of the programs.
