Thank you for joining us for our 2022 Ocean of Possibilities Summer Reading Program. This year, participants were divided into four groups: Seahorses, turtles, divers, and starfish. It was a close race, but the Turtle Team were the winners!
At the beginning of our sign-ups, the first 75 participants under 18 to read ten books will received a free pass to Altitude Trampoline Park in Concord. This prize is still ongoing, so read your 10 books and get your free pass before the end of August!
