"Hey, why didn't anyone ever tell me reading and writing are about thinking, and thinking is fun?"
A student quoted in the book "Raising Passionate Readers - 5 Easy Steps to Success in School and Life" by Nancy Newman, 2014

SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENTS

Summer reading assignments become available on the school website after School Closes and become due on school opening. Some exercises require the student to mail a postcard, with answers, back to the school. The assignments are generally separated by whether your child is a G/T student or an AP student. The links for the 2016 - 2017 year are given below. These links may change or become inactive. Make sure to monitor your child's progress on this mandatory summer assignment.
