Saints Read Participants Celebrate Reading

Shawnee Community College hosted the second annual SAINTS READ Celebration for students in our area who met their reading goals for three months. On Sat., Feb. 24, 32 students and their families enjoyed a V.I.P. party that included pizza, drawings for prizes, pictures with Bernie, a presentation of awards, and free popcorn and soda at the Homecoming Ballgame. These readers also enjoyed V.I.P. seating at the Saints ballgame.
SAINTS READ is a literacy initiative sponsored by S.C.C. Future Teachers and Athletic Program. 53 students completed the three month program by reading the appropriate number of books for their grade level and returning their reading logs to their teacher. Over 1000 books were read by the participants! SAINTS READ Program includes visits to local schools by SCC Athletes, Future Teachers, Staff and Bernie. Shawnee Community College is very proud of the accomplishments of the young participants that completed this program!
