After a summer of hitting the books, it's party time! More than 300 kids, ages 4-12, are celebrating their achievements in the
Dell Super Summer Reading Program.
Seven YMCA summer camps came together at the East Communities YMCA Friday for food, fun, awards and books.
The program ties reading into the 9-week YMCA summer camps, helping to keep their reading minds sharp during the summer months. Thanks to grants from the Dell Foundation, certified teachers are on hand to work with these kids on a more personal level than in a typical classroom environment.
This is the tenth year of the program, with more to come as Dell has agreed to continue to help out for at least the next two years.
