SUMMER OF FREADOM
Interest, choice, and endless possibilities....
One benefit of summer is that each day we had more light to read by.

Calling all Readers!!
This summer, in a concerted effort to promote READERSHIP, increase reading stamina, and increase reading endurance, students in the Vernon Township Public Schools are celebrating a Summer of FREADOM!! This means that students chose their own book(s) to read!! At school, we supported all students in making book selections from our school book stacks, from the libraries (Yes, you can sign out books for the summer!!), and through recommendations from our Library Media Specialists. In September, students will then share what they read through "book talks" in their new classrooms and, hopefully, pass their book along to someone else.
Scroll down to see what our students plan to read this summer and follow our three easy steps to enhance your summer reading plans.
