Attention rising 7th & 8th graders in the Daphne Feeder Pattern: It's officially summer, which means we are officially kicking off the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge!

This challenge is open to all rising 7th and 8th graders in the Daphne feeder pattern, and it's an easy way for your student to continue to learn and grow over the summer break while prepping to be a part of the fun in the fall when we return to campus!

Here is a quick overview:
1. Choose your own goal!
2. Choose your own books! (And yes... ebooks and audiobooks count!)
3. Log your progress over the summer!
4. Complete your end-of-challenge survey!
5. Accept your invitation to the Summer Reading Celebration event!

All participants who complete the challenge will be recognized and invited to our Summer Reading Celebration event in the fall! Plus, all of our summer reading finishers are entered for a chance to win fun prizes. Your student won't want to miss out! Belforest Elementary Daphne East Elementary, PTO W. J.
