Summer!!

2015-2016 flew by!

Let me start the summer by saying reading anything during the summer is so important for students.  I have encouraged all of our students at TDS to get on myon.com as often as possible this summer.  Letters went home about it. The site can be used live with a wifi Internet connection or you can take any mobile device that can access public wifi and download up to 20 books at a time into the FREE app.  The app is on the iTunes App Store, Google Pay Store and Amazon App Store.  The Dickson County Public Library and Lifelong Learning Center has free wifi.  Dunkin Donuts, House Blends on Main Street, McDonald's and any other store that offers free wifi can be used to download the books. (You can even pull up next to the school and connect to our guest wifi!). I will be posting screenshots of our reading results periodically on the library FB page.  All of the school after cares will be allowing students the opportunity to use myon this summer.  I have forwarded all of our student login information to someone in each school.  https://www.myon.com/

Don't forget the public library's summer reading program!  http://www2.youseemore.com/dicksonpl/

Reading Rock on Main Street is an excellent bookstore to visit.  http://www.thereadingrock.com/

Set your calendars for the first annual Kids Fest at the Fairgrounds on June 11, 2016.  http://www.wdkn.com/community-events/2016-kidsfest/.

And last but not least: if you have a child that has benefitted from the Imagination Library and are interested in being recorded for inclusion in a public service presentation for Imagination Library, please come to the 10th Birthday Celebration of the Dickson County Imagination Library. We are hoping to have it on June 25, 2016 at the YMCA in Dickson.  All "graduates" of the I.L. are invited.  I will post the exact time and such when it is finalized.  https://www.facebook.com/DCImaginationLibrary/

If you have any used Imagination Library books that you would like to give to us, we would love to have them.  They are re-labeled and used for enrollment promotions. Technically, due to privacy issues, they are not supposed to be sold or resold. So we would love to help you recycle them! 

Have a great summer! Mrs. Trevenia
