WASHINGTON, D.C. - Second Lady of the United States Usha Vance announced her Summer Reading Challenge, and Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) is encouraging all K-8 students in Texas’s 11th Congressional District to participate. To enter, students must read 12 books, complete the reading log, and submit it to receive a prize. The challenge is open to all students in grades K-8, and participants will be entered into a raffle for a special trip to visit the Nation’s Capital.

“The Second Lady’s Summer Reading Challenge is in full swing! Developing strong reading skills lays the foundation for lifelong success. I know my daughter is actively participating, and I encourage every eligible student to join in as well. This is an incredible opportunity to show the rest of America what I already know — that TX-11 is home to some of the best and brightest students in the country,” Pfluger said in a news release.

The Summer Reading Challenge runs through September 5, 2025. To learn more and enter the challenge, click here.
