Summer Reading Challenge

I hope you had a fabulous summer reading in the sun! Maybe you decided to write in your journal about all your summer activities. Did you read for six hours during the summer, or write in your journal? If so, please let me know that you completed the summer challenge!


There are two ways you can let me know:

1.) Bring in your reading log to me.

2.) Have your parent send me an email stating you have completed the challenge.


I can’t wait to hear from you!
