SUMMER READING
This year’s FBMS Summer Reading program offers a selection of books in order to incorporate a choice of perspectives and genres. The goal is to foster a love of reading and support students' individual learning needs.
This summer and next school year we will focus on the theme of “Empowering Change, Inspiring Hope.” We have identified age-appropriate books which demonstrate stories that focus on the idea of connecting with others around the world, understanding diverse perspectives, and fostering a sense of responsibility towards global issues. Through these books, students can develop a deeper understanding of their roles as global citizens and how they can contribute positively to a more interconnected world. We have created a suggested list below. Students can use this list as a guide to helping them find the right book. Any book chosen not from this list should still fit into the chosen theme.
Please note that summer reading is required of all FBMS students.

When students return in the fall, their English teachers will give directions on how to submit the required assignment. Students will have time in class at the start of the year to discuss and finalize the assignment. This assignment will count as a grade for Term 1. We look forward to discussing these themes in the fall!
Have fun and happy reading!
