Baseball Team Gathers to...READ!

Some AWESOME Baseball coaches made a difference in their players lives this summer by not only nurturing their athletic interests but by encouraging them to read and write over the summer through the Berwyn CARES Summer Reading and Writing Program. Research shows that kids who do NOT read and write over the summer may lose months or more of achievement gained in the previous school year!  

Berwyn CARES has received dozens of mini-books and reading logs due to Mayor Lovero's generous donation of Chicago Fire tickets.  What a GREAT incentive!  One team gathered at Over The Rainbow Ice Cream Parlor to read their original stories aloud to their teammates, celebrating a winning baseball season AND a summer of learning. Thanks to Mayor Lovero, The Berwyn Recreation Center, Over the Rainbow Ice Cream Parlor and all the coaches and parents who made a difference.  

IMPORTANT:  It is not too late to submit your books or reading logs.  Go to www.berwyncares.org.  You can download a printable copy of the mini-book or reading log to work on for the rest of the summer.  Please turn in to Over the Rainbow Ice Cream Parlor for a free ice cream cone by August 1st.
