Congressional Readers Club
Congresswoman Sykes invites K-12 students who live or attend school in the 13th District of Ohio to participate in the Ohio's 13th Congressional District Readers Club.
Congresswoman Sykes' Office will send the student's parent or guardian a book log sheet and additional information, including deadlines and information on how to submit the student's finished book log for submission. Students will have until August 7th to read at least 10 books. You and your students can find books at schools, libraries, early childhood centers, and community centers.
All participants will be invited to a special celebration with the Congresswoman in August. The student in each grade who reads the most books will receive a special recognition from the Congresswoman. Students must have a parent or guardian complete a permission form to participate. If you prefer a physical copy to sign up for the program, please share your address with us, and we would be happy to mail one to you. Below is a list of options provided by Stark and Summit County Public Libraries.
