We are having another great summer encouraging local students to read as part of my Read All About It: America 250 summer reading program! But the deadline to turn in your submissions is coming up soon.
Any 71st district student between kindergarten and 5th grade who reads eight books by July 31 can submit their reading list to my office and earn an official Illinois House of Representatives certificate and an invitation to an ice cream party at the end of the summer. This year, in honor of the celebration of America’s 250th birthday, there will be a special, extra prize for any student who reads at least one book about American history.
Readers make leaders!
