Reading Rocks 2021 kicks off June 14 at Orchard Elementary and Castle Rock Park at 12:15pm. This first encounter features special guest storytellers, Indian Education Director, Jennifer Smith (Orchard), and local author, Mike Thayer (Castle Rock).

  • Mondays: Orchard Elementary & Castle Rock Park

Reading Rocks is designed to help low-income students continue reading over the summer when reading levels are known to drop. Students can enjoy guest story-tellers from around the community at the start of every session. Students are then invited to read with adult and teen volunteers. Finally, all participants are awarded with a book of their choice and a prize to take home.
