Dear Grade 6 Families,
Happy summer! This year more than ever, The Foote School summer reading program is all about beginnings and endings. We are ending this unbelievable year celebrating our successes. We have shared stories and circulated physical and digital books. We have made connections and shared our thoughts. But now, it is time to move on to the next chapter and to begin to think about beginnings. The beginning of summer is truly something to celebrate. And, in a way, it is the prologue to the year ahead.
Every year all Foote students receive a summer reading book. This book is selected by the teaching team for the grade your child will be entering this coming fall and is generously funded by the Foote School PTC. The summer book for 6th Grade is Tall Story by Candy Gourley. This is a wonderful story about family and trying to make a home in a new place.
We have posted additional lists of suggested summer reading by grade level on our library page. It is a wonderful resource. This is also where you will find the link to SORA, our digital library collection. Until we can be together, our best piece of advice is to read what you love: recipes, maps, postcards, cereal boxes, and of course, books. Just keep reading. Listen to audiobooks, podcasts and to each other. Visit your local library, look for local library book sales and always peek into "little free libraries." You will find treasures. We guarantee it! We wish everybody a wonderful summer filled with health, sunshine, laughter and stories!
Your librarians,
Jennifer Friedman Anna Stover Katie Santomasso
P.S. As we look toward the fall, we are planning for the reopening of our library to families. Details to follow.
