Summer Reading 2016 at OES

This is a copy of the letter that will be sent home with students next week about summer reading...

"Building a Bright Future: Minds Under Construction"

v  Oakland Elementary (K – 3^rd graders only): This year for summer reading, students will log in books by “building” a brick wall on the back of this paper.  Students must write the date and title of each book as it is completed, and parents must initial each brick.  All papers must be turned in to the media center by Friday, August 19^th and must be completed entirely to receive a summer reading celebration.  Summer reading is extremely important to help maintain what your child has learned this year and to help prepare him/her for next school year.  Have a great summer, and READ, READ, READ!
