Mark Your Calendar and reserve your child's spot on the 2025 Summer Reading Bus on June 4, 11, 25 & July 2, 9, 16!

Hop aboard the Summer Reading Bus and head to McKinley Elementary for a farm-themed summer learning adventure. Each week, students will enjoy FREE books, games, prizes, and guest readers — along with a special themed program just for that week!

NEW for 2025, there will be six program dates, with each lasting two hours from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. In addition, there will be two books provided* to students for the One Book, One Summer program, where students will read the books together over the six weeks: 

• Daisy Dawson on the Farm, by Steve Voake
• The Cranky Chicken, by Katherine Battersby

Special programs will vary by week, but will include: a program hosted by our very own Xenia High School FFA, a visit with a Highland Cow from the Dream Maker Farm Petting Zoo, a Science Fun program, and sweet treats from Kona Ice. 

This program is free to attend, but remember that adults must stay on-site for the entire program. We are not staffed for drop-offs, and appreciate your understanding.

*Advance registration is not required, but will help us plan and have enough materials for every student. In addition, students who register early are guaranteed the books for the One Book, One Summer program!
