Be a champion enriching the Southlake community. Help add to our accomplishments to date:
· “Book Blizzard Bingo” winter reading program; bingo card with
winter-themed categories, each book read earned one entry slip and each bingo
earned three; 224 children registered with just under 4,500 prize slips earned
(winter 2024-25)
· Sponsored a two-week writing camp for students aged 8-12 with a
professional writing teacher and published author; the camp introduced budding
authors to different creative writing styles and participants received feedback
on their writing plus their work was compiled into a junior literary magazine
which is available to view at the Southlake Library (summer 2024)
· In partnership with the Southlake Library, LFOS sponsored New
York Times best-selling author James Ponti to town; he held two hour-long
writing workshops with students, each receiving one of his “City Spies” books,
and gave an hour-long presentation to a general audience (summer 2024)
· To help young readers get excited for Mr. Ponti’s visit, LFOS
created a spy-themed puzzle-solving game to recruit members to the “Southlake
City Spies” team (summer 2024)
· Supplemented Southlake Library’s summer reading program with
“Golden Ticket” prizes; these larger prizes (Apple AirPods; Beats Solo 3
headphones, $100 Evo gift cards, etc.) required an additional challenge of
reading 10 hours over the library’s hours requirement (summer 2023)
· Offered the first ever winter reading program, “Funopoly”, which
helped motivate Kindergarten through 8th grade readers with games
and prizes during the winter school break (2023-2024)
· Purchased two AWE Children’s Learning Stations for the library.
Valued at about $11,000, these early literacy machines deliver award-winning
content through a safe environment to help prepare students for school
readiness (spring 2023)
Yard signs and other awards are available for donations of $500 and above. Texas EIN #87-4737254.
