From the Academic Dean

Our “Just Read” program is off to a great start with our 5th grade students! We had a blast celebrating the students who read 6 books during the months of August and September. Our “Just Read” program encourages your son/daughter to read 20-30 minutes a night to finish 2-3 books a month. Our next Reading Celebration will be Friday, December 13th for students who have finished reading 13 books. Please reach out to your child’s Reading teacher if you have any questions.
