We want to encourage our students to continue reading over the summer so we are going to continue our Summer Reading Program again this year. Our children all have books at home that they have read and they could use some new ones for the summer. We are asking students to bring in books to “swap” for “new” ones with other students.
WHEN: Monday June 17, 2013
(throughout the morning in Mrs. Morehouse’s classroom)
WHAT: Students bring in books that they no longer want to read and
are willing to donate to the Summer Reading Swap.
Mr. Stewart recently completed the training session for next year's Peer Helper group.
