Announcements Summer Reading Lists 2013 Summer is a great time to catch up on your reading. And if you read in the summer, you will keep up in your reading skills. The Summer Reading Lists are suggested titles for you as you enter your next grade in the fall. However, you can read anything you like in the summer!
Look at the Summer Reading Lists link on our school's homepage or look on this library web page on the right where you will also see a link. If you fill out your documentation about what you read and turn it in to your new teacher when school starts in September, you can earn extra credit! Not only that, if you participate in the Prince William County Public Library summer reading program you can receive other benefits. Stay tuned for more information about how to register for the summer reading program at the public library!
