Give 5 Read 5
GQES is once again participating in The Give 5 Read 5 Program. It is our hope that all students be able to go home for the summer with 5 books to read. A flyer about this program was sent home in weekly communication folders last Thursday. Please consider participating! We know that many of our third graders have made great growth in reading this year, so many of the books they own might be too easy. Learn more about the state-wide campaign at http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/give5read5/.
