Summer Reading 2015

“A TREASURE TROVE OF READING”

OAKLAND ELEMENTARY

SUMMER 2015

v Oakland Elementary (K – 3^rdgraders only): This year for summer reading, students will be going on a treasure hunt and will complete a treasure map. Parents must write the date in each box as the activity is completed and then sign at the bottom of the map before it is returned in August. All maps must be turned in to the media center by Friday, August 21^st to receive prizes. 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! (EXTRA COPIES OF THE TREASURE MAP ARE IN THE FRONT OFFICE AT OES.)
