Summer Reading Lists Published!

Let us be connected through books in the marvelous world of reading.

Nurturing a love of reading has many rewards!

Our summer reading program will once again be a school-wide initiative focusing on various topics. Each student will be required to read one book (or be read to) of their choice from the list. When they return to school in August, teachers will follow up with additional Smart Lab/STEAMM activities. We plan to have a Science Technology Engineering, Math & Ministry (STEAMM) Summer Display to see the wonderful work done by your children.  

Please bring your book with you on the first day of school, Wednesday, August 20, 2025.

Students entering 7^th grade must have an updated immunization record indicating that the vaccines have been administered within 30 days of the first date of attendance at school.
