Our Summer Reading ProgramLoading...
How our books were placed on our summer reading list.All current 7th and 8th-grade students were asked to recommend a book that they thought their peers would enjoy reading over the summer. This list was surveyed, looking for titles that were not on last year's summer reading list - a large number were from last year's list! This tells us that the students did a great job recommending books their peers would enjoy the previous year. We, however, could not repeat a book two years in a row so these books were eliminated as potentials. We then looked for books in different genres, different reading levels, and a mix of what would appeal to boys and girls. We are thrilled with our 2019 summer reading list and believe you will find a book to read that you will enjoy.
