Duello Teachers Bring Summer Reading to Wentzville's Memorial Park

(Following is a press release issued by the .)

Teachers and administrators from have mobilized their summer reading efforts and will be reading to children at Memorial Park in Wentzville once a week this summer.

“Mustangs on the Move” is an effort to bring summer reading to youngsters where they live. The program is free and open to school aged children through fifth grade.

Teachers, counselors and administrators have volunteered their time to read to students on Wednesdays (except July 4th) from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon at Memorial Park, located at 1419 Kathleen Drive in Wentzville. Operation Food Search is providing lunch for those who participate.

“Mustangs on the Move” is an extension of the Wentzville School District’s summer reading efforts that include opening its libraries for special hours over the summer to its students. A schedule of those hours by building can be found on the District’s website at www.wentzville.k12.mo.us.

“In Duello’s efforts to promote summer reading, we have opened our doors to our school library to all of our families as well as take the library to some of our families,” said Duello Principal Dr. Kathy Fisher.

“To ensure student’s availability to books, it is critical to take the extra effort to get the books to the students in the way of a ‘bookmobile.’Mustangs on the Move is able to do just that.”

The program will run through July 25th.
