Why read this summer? It’s the ultimate workout for the brain! Reading for just 20 minutes a day improves vocabulary, reduces stress, and keeps critical thinking skills sharp.


We’ve gathering every local reading program, library event, and book list into this "one-stop shop" resource to make your summer planning a breeze. Let’s make this the summer of reading!

CKH April Focus: Integrity CKH April Focus: Integrity

Integrity is the ability and willingness to live with honesty and excellence. People who act with integrity make a choice to do the right thing, no matter who is watching. Integrity is the foundation on which we build relationships and trust.


This month, we are challenging students to choose to do the right thing, no matter who is watching. We each aim to live with the ability and willingness to exist with honesty and excellence. We want to partner with you to highlight your child’s integrity.
