Once again, I have to express how important it is that your child reads all summer long.

Weekly trips to the library are a good idea. Library  Summer reading programs for everyone, adults included, begin Monday, June 19 and conclude on Saturday, July 28. Read or listen to books, attend programs and be eligible for weekly prize drawings. Detailed information will be available on the website by early June, or call 313-943-2330.

Students could continue to use Myon.com, Mobymax.com, and Frontrowed.com for reading and math.

Thank you for all of your support this year!
