Rutland Middle School will be celebrating those students who complete the goal of reading at least 25 hours this summer.

Various resources will be available to students to engage in summer reading, including access to digital books and read alouds by district students and staff. Students simply need to log their time via the digital logs or paper logs. GOAL: 25 hours - 30 minutes a day. We will have prizes and rewards for students that turn in their reading logs by August 14.

If students are interested in the book after reading a sample, they then should BORROW the book. Click How to Read Books in SORA for more information.
