My Book Day 2012
My Book Day 2012
The Eden Prairie Noon Rotary Club hosted it's 5th annual My Book Day on May 10, 2012. 719 first grade students from the Eden Prairie School Districts received a hard cover book of their own choosing and an exciting experience designed to promote a love of reading and encourage them to read over the summer.
My Book Day begins with the students arriving at the Eden Prairie City Center along with their teachers and volunteers. Rotarians greet them and escort them to their first stop.

The students visit three stations during their visit. As a follow-up to a visit to the Eden Prairie Library earlier in the year, they receive their very own library card.

At the second station, community leaders and volunteers read to the children in small groups. This year readers included Eden Prairie Noon Rotary club member and Eden Prairie Police Chief, Rob Reynolds, members of the police force, fire department, military, atheletes from Eden Prairie High School, Rotarians, and other volunteers.

At the third station, the students are treated to a performance of "The Good Queen Sue." The performance is led by John Jorgenson, who founded My Book Day in Wyoming in honor of his wife Sue. Today, My Book Day, takes place in every public school in the state of Wyoming. Students from the Rotary's student exchange program participated in the performance.
