Summer Reading Programs
There are two amazing summer reading programs available to our students. One is through our local public library, the Atlanta-Fulton County Public Library Summer Reading Program. See the flyer below for more information. The other is through the Barnes and Noble Summer Reading Program, where you can earn free books! Both reading programs are AWESOME! Why not do both?
