In late May o f 2013 dur

Summer is here and the
kids are out o f school.
N o sc h o o l.m e a n s you
don’t need to worry about
your children reading over
summer, right?
Wrong. D id you know a
child’s reading skills decline
if they do n ot read over sum
mer?
D id you also know that
children who read over sum
mer do better in school?
Sum m er reading is the
perfect way for students to
learn ab o u t th eir favorite
subjects and strengthen their
reading skills.
To help encourage read
ing the Community Health
and P rev en tio n R esource
Center and Library, located
in the Family Resource Cen

ing and activities program. ,
T h e'C om m unity H ealth
and P re v e n tio n R esource
Center and Library have book
cards available to track your
child’s reading this summer.
For each book your child
reads h e /s h e fills o u t one
book card with information
including:
T h e read er’s nam e and
grade, the title o f the book,
favorite character and why,
favorite part o f the book, and
how many stars the book de
serves. A parent also signs the
card.
W hen finished, turn the
card in to CHPRC.
As you can see, we want
to k now w h at your child

pleted cards will be entered
into a drawing for some cool
prizes.

acknowledges their rights as

In a global meeting held
earlier this m onth Alta, N or

vocate that the UN adopt
rules to recognize the “regu

tomary Indigenous govern

come fully inclusive o f all
Indigenous governments. «
C urrently, In d ig en o u s
governments have no offi
cial status in the. UN.
Non-governmental orga
nizations are given a formal
“consultative status” in UN
p ro cesses and are relied
upon in matters affecting In
digenous Peoples, while the
ejected or traditionally ap
pointed governments o f In
digenous Nations are often
denied an active role in dis
cus sions a ffe c tin g th e ir
people.
There will be a non-m andatory pre-bid meeting held at 11:00am on
7/2/13 at the Jefferson County School District office located at 445 SE
