VBMS+Suggested+Summer+Reading+2010

We don’t want students to stop reading just because summer is here. Summer is a great time to catch up on all that cool reading you may not have had time for during the school year. So, the library is sponsoring a summer reading program for all students will attend VBMS this fall. Students are being challenged to read 1000 pages this summer. Just keep tra ck of everything you read, have a parent sign it, and bring it to the library during the first week of school in September. Every student who reads at least 1000 pages will be entered into a drawing for some cool prizes. We plan to have 1 winner from each grade level. Each student will receive a certicicate of participation. Borders([]), Barnes & Noble ([]), and the Virginia Beach public Library are all sponsoring reading programs this summer. Students are encouraged to participate in all of them. Don't forget--Virginia Beach has a fantastic public library system which offers free actvities all summer. Check them out at [].

Below you will find a suggested reading list and the reading log that you may print.
