Have fun this summer while we work on our pleasure
reading. This year we are piloting a program from the U.S. Department of
Education called Summer Reading Achievers. Every student must read atleast
ten (10) books this summer and write a sentence about each one. Listed
below are the reading lists compiled by teachers and students in each grade
level. A list is also at Borders Books on Peachtree and a the Buckhead
