Sixth Annual Superintendent's Reading Celebration

Superintendent's Star Reader Book Club

Saturday, May 31, 2008
10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
Jacksonville's Metropolitan Park

This is a celebration that honors Duval County Students who have met their twenty five book reading challenge each school year.

The celebration is organized by WJCT, Jacksonville Public Libraries, ARAMARK Corporation and the Duval County Public Schools to promote reading in our community.

Students earn the right to attend the celebration by reading 25 books in one school year and recording the books read with their Duval County Public School classroom teacher. The teacher reports the student’s names who have met the challenge to the student’s school media specialist who gives out the reading celebration invitations to all students at the school who have met the twenty five book standard.

Students who receive reading award(s) at school may bring it or them to the reading celebration for even more recognition. Awards are not given out at the park.

The Reading Celebration is designed for all ages to enjoy. The whole family is treated to an “extra special day” full of prizes and storytellers. Metropolitan Park comes to life filled with fun activities sponsored by numerous community organizations that support the importance of reading.

All students must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times.
