Each year since 2011, the Flagler/Palm Coast Kiwanis Club has supported the Flagler School District’s Summer Reading Camp, which serves students who have some difficulty mastering the reading objectives for third-grade. The Kiwanis Club provided $2,500 to the district to purchase books to be given to the summer camp students.
On the day of distribution of the “Library of My Own” books on June 8, the teachers brought in summer reading camp students into the school library where the books are displayed. The students were able to select eight books to keep and take home as a small library of their own. Call 439-3251 for more information about the club.

Approximately 15-18 teens with special needs showed up to surf at Flagler Beach on June 7, but they were unable to surf, as there were not enough coaches to help each surfer, according to a news release by a concerned parent.
The coach told the parents that Surfers for Autism needs at least a three to one ratio of surfers to coaches, according to the release.
If you are a surfer and interested in volunteering as a surf coach, please contact Denise Breneman at 631-4405.
