What's HOPpening in the Green Room?

Dear Parents,

Would your child like to receive FREE (with no strings attached!) books to read over this summer?

There is no catch! The non-profit group KidsReadNow (kidsreadnow.org) (located in Troy!) has chosen to work with our school to put free books into the hands of our students this summer.

How it works: You look over the paper that came home today, and select 9 books with your child. Fill out the form and return it to school. Over the summer, your child will receive these books in the mail. You and your child will read the book together. On Friday of each week, you will receive an automated phone call, during which you enter the completion code you received with the book. This will ensure that you receive the next set of books. There is nothing to buy, no one will try to sell you anything!

Here's why we want to do this: Research has shown that students lose A LOT of the skills they've learned during the school year over the summer. This will help your child cut down on that loss!

If you would like to see the video that we watched here in class, please click here.

Did I mention this is completely FREE, with no strings attached?!! How could you possible pass up this chance?

If you would like to sign your child up for this program, but don't want to fill out the form, or are having trouble deciding which books to select, please send me a note, and I will be happy to sign your child up for this amazing program!

(By the way, I'm not getting paid for this, either. I just think it's an awesome opportunity!)
