Summer Reading: Final Deadlines Approaching

Summer Reading: Final Deadlines Approaching

Back in June, I highlighted 14 summer reading programs. Some of those programs have ended while a few have final deadlines approaching.

As our young readers have pressed on this summer and finished those goals, help them achieve their prizes by submitting the requested information before the deadlines.

The following is a list of final deadlines for the remaining summer reading programs:

Saturday, August 31

  • H-E-Buddy 321 for Summer Fun Challenge
  • PBK Summer Reading Challenge

Sunday, September 1

  • H-E-Buddy Summer Reading Club

Tuesday, September 3

  • Barnes & Noble Imagination’s Destination

Friday, September 6

  • Scholastic Summer Challenge

Friday, September 30

  • TD Bank Summer Reading Program

On-going

  • Chuck E. Cheese
  • Sylvan Book Adventure

Varies by locations

  • Public Library Summer Reading Programs
  • Simon Kidgits Club

As summer comes to a close, we wait patiently for our rewards to arrive. We have submitted our reading logs, picked up our FREE books, and attended a baseball game.

Summer break was filled with lots of memories as we explored, discovered, and played while using time wisely. Now we move from summer reading to fall reading.

If you have not submitted all the reading logs, then check the deadlines. Your submissions must be postmarked by the final date. Happy celebrating!

Question: Did your family participate in summer reading?

A. C. Moore: FREE Make & Take – August 31, 2013

A. C. Moore: FREE Make & Take – August 31, 2013

On Saturday, participating A.C. Moore stores present a FREE Band-a-Palooza event. This FREE Make & Take event allows participates to create a stretch band bracelet using the loop tool.

Date: Saturday, August 31, 2013

Time: 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Location: Check A.C. Moore’s website for participating locations.

This project reminds me of making latch hook mats when I was younger. Though this make and take uses stretch bands rather than yarn, the project provides opportunities to using time wisely with those who love crafts at a great price.

Although, if you get hooked, then you might be spending some cash to create fun memories at home. Happy crafting!
