The more you read- the more you can win.

As part of Pinellas County Schools Summer Reading initiative, the school district has created a summer reading site to help students stay on top of their reading and log their summer reading time.

The site is available on the home page of the PCS website or at www.pcsb.org/summerreading.

Students will have a chance to win weekly prizes like movie passes, sports tickets and tablets, just for logging reading time.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, the district has plenty of books for Pinellas County Schools students.

Later this month, the PCS Book Bus will begin visiting various Summer Bridge sites to deliver books to students. At each site, students will have the opportunity to pick out books that interest them. PCS Book Bus visits dates and times include:

  • June 28 — 9 to 11 a.m., Dunedin Middle School; noon to 2 p.m., Sandy Lane Elementary School
