2025 Summer Reading Camp: Students worked hard during the month of June to continue to exercise their love of reading. Summer Reading Camp staff worked with students to build on their foundation knowledge helping them to become more comfortable, confident readers. The session ended with a glow party and a water field day. Students were given books to continue their reading for the remainder of the summer. School principals helped students celebrate their reading success, and students won prizes to celebrate meeting their summer goals. Thank you to Founders Federal Credit Union and Promise Neighborhood for partnering with us! #SummerLearning #CommUNITY #OneLancaster
