Join the Capital School District Summer Reading Challenge!
This summer, we invite all Pre-K through 5th grade students and their families to discover new stories, explore exciting adventures, and make reading part of their summer fun! In partnership with the Dover Public Library, students can participate in the “Unearth a Story” Summer Reading Program by logging reading on Beanstack between June 15 and August 14. Every type of reading counts—including shared reading, audiobooks, e-books, and independent reading. Reading together helps build a lifelong love of books while creating special family memories.

🦋 What a special day for some of our Pre-K classes! After weeks of observing and learning, our students had the opportunity to release the butterflies they watched grow from tiny caterpillars. From caterpillar to chrysalis to beautiful butterfly, the children experienced the incredible life cycle firsthand!
The excitement, wonder, and joy on their faces said it all. Watching their butterflies take flight was a memorable moment and a wonderful learning experience that they will not soon forget. 🦋✨
The smiles were priceless, and their faces truly tell the story! 💙
