Summer Reading Challenge

The Second Lady invites K-8 students to read and track 12 books of their choice between June 1 and September 4. After students finish their 12 books, they can ask their parents or guardians to notify the Second Lady's office. The child will then receive a personalized certificate, an America 250th-anniversary-themed bookmark, and a special link to receive a prize.
