The Race into Reading program was developed with the
Lansdale Library in conjunction with the North Penn Community Network in an
effort to help the youth of MontgomeryCounty develop good
communication and reading skills. One
of the goals of this program will be to reward children for developing strong
positive attitudes towards reading and learning.
Getting Started!
Toddlers, preschoolers and school children up to age 12 can
earn fun prizes for the amount of time they spend reading independently, or the
time they spend listening to an adult read to them. This program will start September 1, 2009 and
run for an entire year ending on August 31,2010. How to get involved. Begin by going to NPCNLive.com and clicking
on the Race into Reading logo on the right hand side of the page. All children should start by clicking on the
Bronze Level program and print the Bronze Level Worksheet. Please have the children or the parents fill
out the appropriate information that is required on the form.
Then Start your Reading
Engines!!!!!!!!
Once the Racers have completed 10 minutes of reading then
they can fill in one block on the Bronze Level worksheet. The Racers would continue reading until all
40 blocks are filled in and or 400 minutes of reading has been completed. Once the form is complete then have an adult
family member or guardian sign the worksheet to validate that the worksheet has
been completed properly. Then take the
worksheet to the Lansdale Library located at:
301 Vine Street
Lansdale,
PA19446
Hours:
Mon-Fri 10am-9pm
Saturday 10am-3pm
Sunday
Closed
(*Form must be signed by the librarian
before it is handed in.)
Once the Bronze level has been completed and handed in you
will receive your reward for completing the Bronze Level Worksheet and you can
begin to work the next level—Silver and or Gold. If you have any questions please call the
North Penn Community Network at (215)699-2400.

The North Penn United Way's Mission is quite simple "To mobilize the
caring power of the greater North Penn and Indian Valley communities".
Their vision; "The North Penn and Indian Valley community is a place
where all residents in need have the opportunity to acheive a vibrant
and healthy quality of life." Now they just need enough volunteers to
make their mission and vision a reality.
Saint Stanislaus School prides itself on demonstrating a strong spiritual foundation, excellence in academics, stimulating curriculum, and a safe learning environment to guide and prepare their students for life’s journey.
Come to Lansdale on market days to stock up on locally produced
vegetables and other tasty foods, wine, and well-made local handicrafts.
But the Market will offer you more than that. In Railroad Plaza on
Saturday mornings, you will be treated to an education, entertainment,
and the enjoyment of gathering with one’s neighbors and friends, old and
new, in a spirit of celebration.
