It’s been a WONDERFUL year!  Thank you for making it that way for us!  To help your child over the summer, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of READING.  In order for your child to maintain his/her current reading level, he/she will need to read every day.  Visiting the library is a great way to encourage this!  Please refer to the reading folder that was sent home.
