WHEATON NORTH SUMMER READING 2019
READ a book(s). CHAT about what you read. WIN prizes.
#FalconsRead
To encourage students to continue reading over the summer, the Wheaton North English Department and the Wheaton North LLC invite students to read great books of their choice all summer long! Once school begins again in August, any students who have read over the summer will be invited to a casual lunchtime chat about what they read. Sweet treats and awesome door prizes - including parking passes, Homecoming tickets, and gift cards - will be given to students who attend and participate in this lunchtime book chat.
QUESTIONS? Please contact the English Department Chair, Mrs. Blazier, or the LLC Director, Mrs. Pigoni.
LOOKING FOR GREAT BOOKS? Check out the 2020 Illinois Teen Readers’ Choice Award Nominees and the Wheaton North SORA eBook & Audiobook Collection!
