**__Summer Reading Programs and Prizes__ **

Houston ISD wants you to become a **Millionaire**! The **__HISD Millionaire's Club__** will be active again this summer. To join the **2013** **Millionaire's Club**, simply read 5 or more books over the summer break. Record the book titles on your **Millionaire Club Certificate** and bring your completed certificate back to our school library this fall.

Your reading log is your ticket to a **party in September**. We will be holding a party to celebrate all the good books that have been enjoyed over the summer break when we return to school in the fall. So make sure you read some good books this summer and you too can join the celebration.
