Cluster 1 Closing Ceremony – Summer Reading 2025

Cluster 1 will celebrate their Closing Day Ceremony on Tuesday, July 15th, at the Friends of the Pohnpei Public Library. From 1:00pm to 3:00pm, the children will take part in their final session of reading, games, and special activities. Then, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, we’ll wrap up our summer fun with a Pizza Party!

All 38 little readers will bring snacks to share and enjoy this joyful time together one last time. They will also receive their gift bags, filled with goodies and brand-new school supplies to help them start the new school year strong!

We want to thank all the diligent and hard-working parents who gave 110% every day to make sure their little ones made it to the program. Your support made these three beautiful weeks of reading and learning a success!

Clusters 2 & 3 are going to be following the original schedule and except the 17th of July will be Cluster 3's final regular session before the closing even July 18th. Please stay tuned to see more details about the time and activities for the final day ceremony.  

A heartfelt thank you to IMLS, NACH, and the FPPL Board along with FPPL Staff for making this all possible.

See you all next year!

Week 3: Rainy Week of Indoor Adventure and Learning

Wednesday, July 9: Cluster 1 Enjoys a Rainy Day Inside

Midweek brought Cluster 1 (K5 to 2nd grade) in for a day of indoor activities as heavy rain settled over Pohnpei. But that didn’t stop the fun! Kids rotated between storytime, early writing activities, and movement-based games. A quick snack break was taken outside on the benches when the rain let up. The afternoon session enjoyed the same rhythm of reading, games, and snack time—all bundled in a warm, cozy atmosphere.

Thursday, July 10: Cluster 2 Dives Into Reading and Games

Next up, Cluster 2 (3rd to 5th grade) returned for their third week. Both morning and afternoon sessions began with a story reading led by Andrew, followed by a delicious snack break and then an educational group game that tested their thinking skills.

In the afternoon, we upped the energy with more active indoor games to help burn off the snack-fueled excitement. Afterward, students jumped into reading comprehension challenges and ended with a small team game that sent them home smiling and proud of what they’d accomplished.

Friday, July 11: Cluster 3 Returns for Digital Discovery

To close out the week, Cluster 3 came back for a very special technology session focused on basic computer use and PowerPoint creation. With the help of our dedicated staff, students worked in teams and individually to build presentations about their summer reading adventures.

They created slides that highlighted their favorite moments from the program—especially Tuesday’s field trip—and added photos, titles, and bullet points showcasing what excited them most. It was an adventurous dive into digital learning, full of essential tech skills that will undoubtedly benefit them in their future education.

To top it off, each student had their photo taken as part of our upcoming SRP 2025 Mini Yearbook, a keepsake they’ll get to take home at the end of the program—a celebration of all their hard work, learning, and fun.
