Don't miss this sale! All proceeds raised help found the West Newton Library.
Summer Reading Program
The West Newton Library would like to announce this year's take on the old summer reading program. This year we will feature a weeklong event focusing on nutrition, exercise, and reading. This event will run from July 13th to July 18th starting daily at 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The event will be held at the West Newton Lion's Field House and Pavilion on the west side of town. The program is free of charge and is open to children from K - 6. Space is limited to the first 50 children.
This year the children will be involved in preparing healthy choices, analyze group results, review fractions, and measure out ingredients. They will learn the impact of exercise and of course we will be featuring a new story every day. Each child will receive a workbook and DVD from the "Jump with Jill" exercise & fitness rocks program. Lunch will be provided each day.
The weeklong event will wind up on Saturday July 18th with our awards ceremony at Simeral Square, during their annual Health and Wellness Fair at the park.
Please contact the library at 724-972-3229 to reserve your spot which will be done with your completion of our registration form. This year's program is brought to you by a grant from the Kakos Foundation.
