New! Highschool Summer Reading Club

Conference Attendees will get a sneak peak at this year's highschool summer reading selection. Read the named book (hint- it'll pertain to this year's theme!) and come ready to discuss at our family summer reading celebration- a popsicle party! Prizes for highschool students, too.

2025 Popsicle Party

St Jerome graciously hosted the party! 77 of us, from the 102 registered participants, came to celebrate reading! HEB donated the popsicles. Children received prizes, certificates, and we even had raffle winners. There were games, children in storytelling costumes, and parents connecting. Join next year!
