Hello Mindy,
Thank you for the email and I'm glad we'll have the opportunity to visit further in the coming weeks. We've begun engaging in conversations that are focused on supporting students/families over the summer months to prevent the "summer slide". Basically, our goal is to connect with students/families to encourage social, emotional and academic opportunities for students in the summer months. We see a significant decline in student academic skills over the summer months and also notice many students have a hard time transitioning back to structured school days each fall.
I think it would be wonderful if we could explore partnerships,grants, etc. to create programs, sessions, connections with students all summer long and include reading and numeracy into the conversation as well.
I'll do some more thinking and share ideas with our staff to consider any number of ideas. I'd look forward to any ideas you have as well to partner together. I think the lunch wagon would be a great way to start! I think that's a tremendous asset to our community.
Thanks for engaging in the conversation and I look forward to meeting soon. If you have additional thoughts or ideas before the meeting, please don't hesitate to call or email.

Reading, Reading, Read All About It!
Tips for students:
- Find a new favorite book. Reading for pleasure is valuable!
- Visit the school library or public library to find new reading materials.
- Don't leave home without it. Bring your favorite book to grandma's, on a car trip, or even to the doctor's office.
- Re-read stories or poems. Re-reading helps kids read more quickly and accurately.
- Talk about books. Students become better readers and comprehend more deeply as they talk about books. Students can have interesting conversations with family members about the characters and setting of a story. Making predictions or guessing the ending helps bring books to life as well.
