Saints Read Program Visits Century

January 24, 2008

Shawnee Community College is proudly promoting a literacy initiative in area schools. Students in grades K-6 are invited to take part in this reading program. Children are keeping logs of books read and submitting these reading logs to their classroom teachers. If students meet their reading goal and submit their logs to their teachers by Feb. 1, they will receive an invitation to a SAINTS READ Celebration to be held at Shawnee Community College Homecoming, Feb. 23. At the celebration these young readers will enjoy a pizza party, have their picture taken with Bernie-the SCC mascot, and have VIP seating at the SCC Homecoming basketball game. Their names will go into a drawing for many prizes, including autographed basketballs, Saints shirts and jackets, and ½ off coupons for basketball camp.
As a part of the SAINTS READ program SCC athletes, future teachers and staff are visiting area students. They recently enjoyed a visit to 2nd Grade at Century Elementary on Pajama Day. Pictured are Mrs. Harp’s and Mrs. Reagan’s 2nd Grade classes, SCC athletes along with SCC staff: Baseball Coach Greg Sheppard, Vice-President of Administration Dr. Richard Massie and Instructor Sharon Walker.
