Reading Power Graduations Yield Big Smiles
Graduations were celebrated at all five Reading Power schools in North Chicago in late May. The tutor teams at A.J. Katzenmaier, Greenbay, Forrestal, South and Yeager Schools organized festive celebrations to recognize the achievements of their students. Diplomas were awarded along with bookmarks and parent literature emphasizing the importance of reading to their children.
Amidst balloons and delicious treats, students were individually praised for their unique gifts, in many cases with parents or grandparents present.
Rebecca Mullen, Reading Power’s Executive Director, commended students for their excellent reading and writing accomplishments in Reading Power. And the principals from each school complimented their students for their great strides in this important program.
Finally, each student left with the gift of a special book personally selected by their tutor. Students also received a bag of book from Bernie's Book Bank for their home libraries. Laughter, smiles and happy tears abounded as students and tutors hugged a heartfelt good-bye.
