Summer Reading

In the PTA, we believe that literacy is one of the most important things we can support. It is so important to have your children read through the summer! I know it gets crazy and everyone is busy, but it is amazing what just 20 minutes a day will do to keep your child improving their reading skills. Please make sure your children are getting reading time each day!

The Pleasant Grove City Library has a lot of really fun summer programs available. Please Click Here to go to their website and get more information. There are programs for children from 18 months to 18 years and even some for us adults!!! Registration for the summer reading program starts May 21st. You can register online, by telephone, or at the library. You need a valid PG Library card to register. Due to space constraints, class sizes are limited, so make sure to sign up for the time you want early!

Our own school library has a summer checkout program as well. Mrs. Webster does a fantastic job of keeping the students supplied with great books! Manila's Library will be open through the summer on Thursday Mornings from 10:00 to 12:00. Dates are June 7, June 14, June 21, June 28, July 5, July 12, July 19, July 26, CLOSED August 2, LAST DATE August 9.

Summer is a great time to get a jump start on your Battle of the Books list, too! Go to our Battle of the Books Page to find the class lists of books! We have also supplied some links to some fun reading and math websites on our home page.

Above all, just remember to KEEP READING!
