2025 Great Bend Reading Initiative
Join the Pack for a PAW-some Adventure! 🐾📚
We’re kicking off the 2025 GB Reads with Dog Days by Karen English, and families are invited to join in on the tail-wagging fun! Starting January 10, 2025, students will embark on an un-fur-gettable reading journey alongside Gavin, a new kid at Carver Elementary, who learns about friendship, responsibility, and doing the right thing.
🐶 BONE-anza Community Scavenger Hunt
Unleash your inner detective! Families can sniff out hidden dog bones around town through the Goosechase app. Local businesses are ready to play along, so bring the whole pack to complete fun “missions” and fetch some prizes! Top “paw-ticipants” will win prizes for their scavenger skills!
📖 Free Books & Family Fun
Each K-6 student will receive a free copy of Dog Days—purr-fect for cozy family reading time. Plus, look out for choice boards and fun activities to get the whole family involved!
Mark your calendars, grab your leash, and get ready for a fur-bulous season of reading and adventure! 🐾
