Summer Reading Programs
Children in both the Newport and Greenwood areas are encouraged to read during their summer school vacation by receiving a free book of their own courtesy of Perry Valley Grange. The book give-away is coordinated with established summer programs at the Greenwood Elementary School and at the Newport Public Library.
Books are distributed in the Greenwood School District to children who have reading problems by the remedial reading teacher tutoring them over the summer. The Newport Library used the books purchased by the Grange as a reward for those children who participated in and completed their summer reading activity packets.
Approximately $250 of children's books were purchased by the Grange for each of the two summer reading programs. The Grange was pleased to make this $500 investment in the education of our area's young people. A nameplate has been placed in the front of each book noting that it was donated by Perry Valley Grange.
