Super Summer Success - Need Books?
We know that the single best way for kids to keep the reading growth they made during the school year is to READ during the summer! We hope providing books throughout the summer will help you and your child.
Encourage your child to read and reread the books! Your child can keep track of all his/her reading with our Summer Reading Challenge Reading Log. Students who fill out their reading log and return it in the fall will get a ticket for raffle prizes.
Keep the books all summer and return them in the fall, OR if you’re ready for a swap sooner, visit Murphy School and return these books for new books. There will be bins of leveled books placed outside of the school to return the books you currently have for new books that you choose the read.
Any student who returns their books, either in the bins in front of the school during the summer OR to Murphy Elementary next fall, will be entered into a raffle. Visit the school often to swap books so you can receive more raffle tickets for prizes!
For questions or more information, please contact Tami Curry, Murphy Learning Coach at tcurry@lapeerschools.org .
Happy Reading!
3rd-5th Grade Books
Grant funds have purchased books for our 3rd-5th graders. Many of our 5th graders received them during their End of Year parade but if not these books will be available in the grade level bins located at Murphy's Main Entrance.
...And Free Books for All Grades
