 Lets embrace the beauty of art in all its forms by preparing for our 2025 Summer Reading Program 2025! As you know, the summer learning gap is a real challenge that our students face. The Summer Reading Program (SRP) is a great way to keep kids engaged in reading throughout the summer, with some fun prizes along the way, including a free book when they finish! We are delighted to announce that the theme for this year’s program is Color Our World! We look forward to this journey of art and creativity while celebrating the many ways in which art enriches our lives. We are very excited about this year’s theme and hope you are, too! In addition to SRP, we are planning engaging programs for children of all ages! We are working on a promotional video that you can send out to your students. Look out for it in one of our future newsletters!

Additional verses: Oh gee, it’s up to my knee Oh my, it’s up to my thigh Oh fiddle, it’s up to my middle Oh heck, it’s up to my neck Oh dread, it’s up to my head, I’m just going to swim on home.
