WHO?
 Students at SJA enthusiastically participate in a Summer Reading Program.
 Students make a log of books read along with number of pages read.
 Any student that reads more than 1,250 pages and completes Summer Math can participate in a day of fun.  
 In past years, we have had 98% of the students participate fully in the program.

Preschoolers Join the Fun!
3 and 4 year-old Preschoolers are invited to participate in the Summer Reading Program!
An information page about the Summer Program will be sent home and can also be found on this web page too.  
On the first day of school in the new year, each child will turn in a list of books that have been read
or that someone read to them during the summer. Prizes will be awarded accordingly.
