Summer Reading Program and New Books to Read this Summer

Summer Reading Activities 2022

Wow, it’s the last week of school!  The HHCS Summer Reading program will be coming home in your child’s report card envelope.  There are 3 main options outlined for your child to choose from, either completing a total of 24 hours of reading over the summer, reading books from around the world, or reading in various locations and documenting it in pictures!  Students who complete the challenge will receive an HHCS seal next June at the Awards Assembly.  Have fun with it! Students may return the summer reading forms to me in the library in September or may give it to their homeroom teacher. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, at l.baillargeon@hh-cs.org.

Here are some book lists to help if your child wants to do the read around the world challenge!

Students had their last book check out of the school year last week, and all outstanding books need to be returned on your child’s regular library day this week!  Please keep an eye on your email inbox this week in case you might get a batch email from our library system indicating your child has books that still need to come back.  (maybe check your spam folder too!) Thanks everyone!

Genre Spotlight- Mystery Books, and Last Week of Library Checkouts for the Year

Thank you everyone for your support for the Scholastic Book Fair!  The students’ mouths were dropped open as they walked by and saw the displays for the first time!  It was so nice to see all the enthusiasm, especially as we haven’t been able to do an in-person book fair for so long.  This coming week is the last week to check out library books.  Then the students will need to return all outstanding books the following week.  Can you believe there are only 3 weeks left of school?

This week I am highlighting great lists for mystery lovers!  Here is an article that explains why you should consider introducing your child to mystery books!
