With still a week left for Clinton school kids on their winter break, a district Principal is touting the importance of youth continuing to keep up with their reading skills.

Principal of Lincoln and Douglas Schools in Clinton, Beth Wickenhauser explains the recent introduction of Read Across Clinton was introduced to help kids keep up their reading skills while away from the school. 

While only a few weeks away from school, Wickenhauser says kids can regress in their reading skills if they are home reading just ten or fifteen minutes. 

Clinton Schools recently received a $5,000 donation from Miller Container for their summer program - Read Across Clinton. We'll have more on the donation later this week on Regional Radio News.
