Honoring the PAST. Celebrating the PROGRESS. Building on the PROMISE of FREEDOM FOR ALL!

Juneteenth is an American holiday that offers everyone a chance to reflect on the past and celebrate the promise of a more equitable future. For those wondering how to celebrate Juneteenth here are a few ideas to consider:

Start local by learning more about the Black history in your own area and within your own community.
Create space for family, friends and co-workers to have conversations around topics relevant to the Black community.
Surprise loved ones with gifts from Black-owned businesses and organizations.
Attend Juneteenth celebrations.
Start a new family Jubilee Day tradition.
Explore cooking some traditional Juneteenth recipes.

Summer Reading - Our school will be using the SCCPSS Resources but have provided our own Google Form Reading Logs for students to submit to be able to receive Summer Reading credit. The Google Form can be completed as you finish each book or wait until you have completed all books...it's up to you! This way there is nothing to "turn in".....it is automatically logged and will be distributed to teachers in August. However, all reading logs must be completed by August 31st for your child to receive their Summer Reading credit.

**Please be sure you click on the Grade Band Log for your child's upcoming grade level for the 26/27 school year.
See additional instructions in the Summer Reading graphic or the Summer SMORE.
