The seventh annual Frankfort Reading Camp wraps up tomorrow - Friday, June 21. Campers studied hard, practiced and progressed with new reading techniques and skills, made new friends, and enjoyed many fun activities together!
Each camper will go home with a loaded book bag, a Certificate of Recognition, and an increased awareness of and ability to enjoy reading. Each will also receive a backpack when school starts, and Deacon Rebecca will follow up with contact later in the year.
In addition to classroom activities and individual focus time, field trips this year included a trip on the the KSU riverboat, a class at the Frankfort School of Ballet, an afternoon at Heavenly Hilltop farm and railroad, an opportunity to read aloud to the animals at Life House, and a visit to the Paul Sawyier Public Library.
Poor Richard's Bookstore
was helpful in obtaining copies of new Dr. Seuss books for all, and
Half Price Books
in Hamburg made a very generous donation of books.
Thanks are due to so many - first to Deacon Rebecca Saager for her dedication and tireless leadership. To Jenny Neat for her phenomenal photography, and to Father Jessee for his unflagging support and motivation. To all the volunteers: skilled teachers, reading coaches, teen counselors, and other support workers.
To the cooks and kitchen workers, who prepared and served breakfast and lunch daily.
And especially to the donors who continue to make this free, fun, educational day camp possible for Frankfort children. Thanks to all of you, from all the campers and their families!

Annual
Building & Grounds Cleanup
Many hands make light work!
Save the date and plan to help make our building sparkle and grounds look clean and neat. Bring your own tools and supplies, please, especially paper yard waste bags.
We have an early summer proliferation of weeds, and a week’s worth of heavy indoor activities to tidy up after. Will you spend half a day to help?
