Our entire staff and student body continued our yearly tradition of the summer reading program. A list of potential books is chosen in the Spring and sent out to both students and staff. Every member of the school community decides what book he/she will read over the summer months. A book study schedule is then set up for students led by staff members that read the same book. This has become a tradition at SLHS and really promotes reading and the importance of literacy. You can see pictures from the event to the right.
The programs also serves as an English grade for all students as each is required to come up with a set of Level 1-3 questions to discuss during the book discussion. Those questions are turned in to English teachers and serves as their summer reading grade. We are excited about the program and our staff has totally supported and gotten behind the efforts to promote literacy in the summer months.
