Reading increases vocabulary, strengthens focus and concentration, increases knowledge, and improves imagination!

Raise a Reader!

1) Start a reading habit early, but it's never too late! 

2) Read everyday!  Maybe 20-30 minutes before bed, for example.

3) Keep books around your home.  Garage sales are a great way to find gently used books! Use the online ebook programs from school, for example, MyOn.

4) Be a reading role model. 

Raise the Flag Buccaneers!

The Jr. Bucs Elementary Fitness Program impacts more than 130,000 elementary school children in Hillsborough and Pinellas county schools, with educational activities incorporated into P.E. classes.
