In celebration of Illinois Family Reading Night, the Hillcrest High School IMC (Instructional Materials Center) sponsored ‘The Magic of Discovery’ literature event on Monday, November 14th. “Family Reading Night is an annual statewide event held the third Thursday in November to encourage families to spend quality time reading together. It is sponsored by the Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian, Jesse White and Illinois Center for the Book.”

With the help of many Hillcrest organizations including the Culinary Arts Club, Art Society, Mathletes, Book Club, Science Club, Student Athletics Leadership Team, and photography students, children of all ages participated in various book-themed stations in the school’s library.

Book stations included: Hunger Games ‘Survival Challenge,’ Narnia’s ‘Gear Up for Adventure,’ Harry Potter ‘Potion Making,’ escape room, and more!  

It was a fun evening for the whole family!  Delicious themed treats were also enjoyed.
