Hello Patriots!
Welcome to summer! We have made it through an unusual and sometimes difficult year. I am so proud of everyone.
Do not to stop reading. Sora is available to us 24/7 and all summer long.
One of the best things we can do to keep our minds sharp and ready for school in the Fall is to read. This is why I am encouraging everyone to read at least six books this summer.
If you need a good book recommendation, fill out the Microsoft form in the box above this one, and I will send you an email with a few suggestions.
Be safe! Have fun! Keep reading!
See you soon,
Mrs. Tetschner
