Our 3rd grader students wrapped up the school year with a very special mission: passing down their ultimate favorite books from the year to our rising 3rd graders! They shared all the best recommendations to keep our younger students excited to read all summer long. 📚✨
Families, the learning doesn't have to stop just because the school doors are closed! Summer break is the perfect time to build great reading habits. Head over to our local public library this week to grab a library card, sign up for their summer reading challenge, and let your child pick out their next great adventure. 🎒📖

Enjoy every minute of your next big adventure!
