Senator Webb launches summer reading program
Webb launched her Summer Reading Program last week. School aged children from across New York Senate District 52 are invited to participate.
This year's program is themed Color our World: Colorea Nuestro Mundo.
The program is designed to keep children's reading skills sharp during the summer months by making reading a steady habit.
Senator Webb says she supports educational development and hopes to provide an enjoyable and productive activity for students while they are out of school.
'I'm thrilled to launch this year's Summer Reading Program, Color our World: Colorea Nuestro Mundo,' said Webb. 'Reading has the power to open doors, ignite imagination, and connect us across cultures and communities. Through this program, I want to inspire young minds from every corner of Senate District 52 to explore new worlds through books, build their confidence, and celebrate their creativity.'
Children who read three books and submit information about their readings will receive a Certificate of Achievement from Webb. Parents and guardians from across New York State are encouraged to enroll their children in the activity by filling out a short form detailing the books read by their child this summer.
The submission form is available online at nyread.com. The deadline for submission is August 22.

After two cars stolen, Palm Beach Police remind residents to lock their vehicles
After two cars were stolen in recent days in Palm Beach, the town's police department is reminding people to lock their vehicles. In an alert sent Aug. 2, the Palm Beach Police Department cautioned people to take valuables out of their vehicles and lock their cars and homes. The two vehicles that were most recently stolen on the island were unlocked, said Palm Beach Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Ogrodnick. Six total vehicles have been stolen in Palm Beach this year, he said. "We have these groups that come up from the south, and they're coming through town for a reason," he said of would-be thieves, while noting that this issue is not isolated to Palm Beach. People should remove from their vehicles items that are high in dollar value, and remember to also remove items such as purses, cash and phones that could entice a potential thief, Ogrodnick said. People also should not leave their key fobs in their vehicles — a move that makes it even easier for a car to be stolen, he said. As long as the key fob is nearby: "They can start the car," Ogrodnick said. "And the car is gone." He declined to share the makes and models of the vehicles that were stolen or more details about the incidents, citing the active investigation. People who see something suspicious should contact Palm Beach Police at 911 for an emergency and 561-838-5454 for a non-emergency.
