Summer Reading Lists are Now Available
Before the first bell rings on Thursday, August 13, students are expected to read their assigned summer book and complete the accompanying assignment. Think of it as the perfect way to keep minds sharp while still enjoying all the fun summer has to offer.
Whether reading by the pool, on a road trip, or curled up indoors escaping the Texas heat, we encourage students to dive into their books early and pace themselves throughout the summer.
Happy reading, Griffins!
