2008 Summer Reading Program

"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 life long 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, it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that each student read TWO books from the    following list. Students will be taking an Accelerated Reader (AR) test on each of their books. This will help them get a head start on reaching their AR goals for the next school year. In addition, each student who passes the AR tests for both books, will receive two 100’s on test grades for his/her commitment to reading.
