Summer Reading ProgramEvery summer, Saint Andrew School conducts our Summer Reading Program designed to keep students reading and motivated and to help them be prepared for school in August. Reading guidelines are listed below; letters with detailed instructions were sent home with students in late May/early June. For students entering:
Reading logs should be given to the student’s new homeroom teacher during the first week of school (or sent via e-mail). Summaries for 4th and 5th grade should be sent via e-mail or the post office to their homeroom teacher from last school year (or turned in the first week of school). Book reports for middle school students are due on August 30, 2010. You may follow the links below to a list of books recommended by our teachers. Students may substitute other books that are at their academic reading level.
