Participate in the HMS Summer Reading Challenge!

You have two additional incentives to read and visit the HMS library this summer.
 * Students can complete the “Summer Reading Challenge #1” to earn an ice cream sundae, and Challenge #1 AND Challenge #2 to earn ice cream and extra recess.
 * You may also win a gift certificate to one of our book fairs. All you need to do for a chance to win this prize is visit the HMS library!

The library will be open **Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. beginning June 15 through August 10. (The library will be closed on July 6 for building cleaning.)** Every time you visit the school library you can put your name in the jar for a chance to win a book fair gift certificate. On the first day of school we will draw 5 names from the jar. Each week there will be several items hidden in the library – if you find one you’ll be able to choose a prize from the prize bin.

// Looking forward to seeing you in the library! // // ~Mrs. Quirk //
