Summer Packets!

CHECK YOUR CHILD’S BACKPACK!!!

Let’s Glow Up This Summer! ✨ Join Our Reading Challenge

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Summer is officially here! While we want our students to enjoy the sunshine and well-earned

relaxation, we also want to make sure their brains stay sharp. To keep the momentum going, we

are thrilled to announce our Summer Reading Glow Up Challenge!

📖 The Goal

The “Glow Up” is simple: We want students to keep reading and practicing reading skills all

summer! 🌟

How to Participate

We’ve made it easy (and fun) to track progress:

The Summer Glow Passport: Complete the attached packet and return. This will be

your passport to party!

The Reward: Students who return their completed packets in August will attend our

“Glow Party” celebration and have a chance to win some “lit” prizes!

💡 Tips for a Successful “Glow Up”

Spread it Out : Don’t complete the entire packet in a few days. Make it a whole summer goal!

Quality Time: Read the texts with your child and discuss! Make it a valuable experience

for you and your child to show them the importance of continued learning.

Visit the Library: After reading one of the attached stories, visit our local Hancock

County Library to find more books about the topic!

Important Dates

Challenge Starts: Monday, June 1st

“Passports” Due: Friday, August 7th

We can’t wait to see how much our students GROW and GLOW with reading this summer!
