Get Ready for Eager Reader!

Our 2nd annual Eager Reader Bookmark Design is here!

Submissions due by 12/13/23.

Use this form for your student to design their bookmark submission.

Our PTSA volunteers will scan & copy submissions to have a variety of bookmarks available for students to choose one when they come to select their new Eager Reader book. Have your student drop off their design in the Eager Reader basket at the Discovery Library any time prior to Wednesday, 12/13/23.

EAGER READER WILL KICK OFF IN JANUARY 2024!

Discovery students read daily, take home new books of their choice, and have a chance to win prizes during our annual reading incentive program.

This year's theme is Read Across America!

Discovery students will read daily from January 11 - February 11 and track their reading by coloring in their map each day they read on their reading log. All Discovery students will choose a free book at the beginning of Eager Reader in January and a 2nd book at the end of Eager Reader in February. Students who read daily and return their reading log will earn a 3rd book to take home plus be entered to for a chance to win individual, grade level, and a grand prize! More info here.

READ ACROSS AMERICA WEEK (2/26/24-3/1/24)

Then, we will be ready for Read Across America Week at the end of February (2/26-3/1/24) where there will be a week of fun reading activities with Mrs. Gage, our Discovery Librarian, and an in-person author and illustrator visit with Ellie Peterson. 

Parents & Caregivers: Sign up to volunteer here to assist students with their book selection. https://signup.com/go/HdJprax
