Reading is a great way to fight "summer slide." Students are receiving a green paper copy of a GR Summer Reading Bucket List during the last week of school. Included are optional extras-links for summer reading programs, a summer bucket list for activities other than reading, and Reading Bingo. Students who list titles they have read over the summer can turn in the Reading Log to the GR Library by 9.6.2024 for a prize. Here is a shortened digital version (linked HERE) for usable links. It can be turned in if the paper copy gets lost. Enjoy your summer reading adventures. I can't wait to hear all about them when school starts!
