📚 Summer Reading Reminder ☀️

Parents, don’t forget to encourage your child to read throughout the summer! Reading just a little each day helps keep their skills strong and prepares them for a successful school year ahead.

Please also remember to fill out and keep up with your child’s summer reading log as they complete their books. We can’t wait to celebrate all of their hard work when school starts back!

Happy Reading! 📖✨
