Summer Reading begins May 13!
Students in all divisions can check out a Bespoke Summer Reading Bag from the library. They’re welcome to pick their own books, or we can put together a selection for them.
Each bag will include a golden ticket for a raffle at the start of the school year. To enter, students can write one sentence or draw a picture inspired by something they read over the summer.
We’ll hold the raffle during the first week of school, with prizes like gift cards, art supplies, and more.
In July (date coming soon), students can return to the library to check out new books and decorate their bags. We’ll also have craft days, story time, special guests, and book-themed activities.
- May 4-15 AP Testing Weeks
- May 11- Graduation Walk
- May 15- Graduation Rehearsal and Senior Sunset Dinner
- May 16- Graduation
