Pinellas County Schools rolls out Summer Reading incentives

As part of Pinellas County Schools Summer Reading initiative, the school district has created a summer reading site to help students stay on top of their reading and log their summer reading time. The site is available on the home page of the PCS website or at www.pcsb.org/summerreading.

Students will have a chance to win weekly prizes like movie passes, sports tickets and tablets, just for logging reading time. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the district has plenty of books for students in Pinellas County Schools. Later this month, the PCS Book Bus will begin visiting various Summer Bridge sites to deliver books to students. At each site, students will have the opportunity to pick out books that interest them.

PCS Book Bus visits dates and times include:

• July 5 —  9 to 11 a.m., Pinellas Park Middle School; noon to 2 p.m., Pinellas Park Elementary School

• July 6 —  9 to 11 a.m., Bay Point Middle School; noon to 2 p.m., Lakewood Elementary School
