I’m encouraging students across the 45th District to stay engaged this summer by taking part in my annual Summer Reading program.
The challenge is simple: if you’re entering 1st through 8th grade, I’m asking you to read eight books before August 15th. Summer is a great time to build strong reading habits, explore new interests, and keep your mind sharp while school is out.
I encourage students to visit their local libraries, pick out books they’re excited about, and track their progress along the way. Once you’ve finished all eight books, you can fill out a short online form to complete the challenge.
Students who participate will receive an official certificate of recognition from the Illinois Senate. It’s a great way to celebrate your hard work and commitment to learning.
Contact Lori at LYates@sgop.ilga.gov for any questions.
