We encourage students to keep reading all summer long! The Cobb County School District Library Media Education Department is partnering again with Cobb and Smyrna Public Libraries for our Summer Reading Challenge 2024. The student challenges is to read 20 minutes a day and at least 15 hours this summer. Students earn digital badges by logging reading minutes in Beanstack, our year-round reading engagement platform.
Students who complete the Beanstack Summer Reading Challenge will be invited to a donut party next school year and will also be entered into drawings for gift cards and other prizes.
Reading throughout the summer at least 20 minutes a day helps students maintain learning gains made in school and start the upcoming new school year off right.
