Dear Parents,
I am so excited to announce our new summer reading program. iscream4reading is a fundraiser that focuses on literacy; inspiring our students to read all summer long.
Our teachers work hard teaching our students and without reinforcement, unfortunately, our students are at risk of losing what they have been taught. Did you know that up to 25% of what they learn a year can be lost because they don’t read over the summer? Also, studies have found that this loss is cumulative. We can prevent this by encouraging them to read ALL summer!
There are so many benefits to reading. When your child picks up a book, they are not only building upon their academic skills, but they are more relaxed, have better self-esteem and reduce boredom.
There are countless ways to fundraise, but iscream4reading is a fundraiser that will impact our children’s lives in the years to come. I hope that each student will participate.
Sincerely,
Principal Smith
