"There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure island" - Walt Disney
Dear Parent/Guardian:
We look forward to having your child as a seventh grade student at Church Hill
Middle School. It is our mission to enhance and develop skills necessary for
lifelong success. In addition to setting high standards for our students, we
have developed a Summer Reading Program. It is proven that a student’s reading
level has a direct effect on his/her academic achievement. Therefore it is
essential that we continue our commitment to reading throughout the summer
break. The purpose of the Summer Reading Program is to encourage all CHMS
students to enjoy reading and to view it as a means to gain valuable knowledge.
Over the summer, your student will be required to read at least one of the
following books and keep a reading log. The details of the reading log are on
the back of this letter. Students may read additional books and keep logs for
extra credit. Logs will be due during the first week of school.
