SUMMER BUCKET LIST With summer just around the corner, WSS has you covered with a few fun ideas on how to spend your time away from school. BY JACK ALDEN & KRISHA KAPOOR
VOLUNTEER
GO ON A PICNIC
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and meet new people. The Coralville Food Pantry, Iowa City Animal Shelter and Houses into Homes are good local volunteering options. Another plus is that those who record 200 volunteer hours by the end of high school will be honored with a silver cord at graduation.
Grab a few friends, a blanket and a basket of treats. Then, enjoy the nice summer weather at a sunny place, such as Willow Creek Park, North Ridge Park or City Park. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and bug spray.
JOIN A SUMMER READING PROGRAM The Coralville, North Liberty and Iowa City public libraries have summer reading programs. They are a great way to read more during the summer and keep your brain active. As an added bonus, you can enter raffles and win prizes after reaching certain reading goals.

GET ICE CREAM The sweltering heat always makes getting ice cream a splendid treat. Cool down by grabbing a cone at a local ice cream shop. Dane’s Dairy and Heyn’s Ice Cream are yummy options, and nothing is sweeter than supporting small businesses.
