June 2017 Dear Nauset Families,

Summer is a great time to read simply for the joy of reading. The Nauset Summer Reading Program has been developed in conjunction with the town public libraries to focus on developing a love of literacy in students. The books you see listed in this Summer Reading Guide are suggestions for your child. All of these titles have been carefully chosen and are known to be worthy of your time. Any book that students read during the vacation, whether it is from our list or recommended by a friend or a relative, is a new adventure and strengthens your reading abilities.

Our summer reading theme for 2017 is “Build a Better World.” The goal is to provide books that show students how they can make a better world in their own lives whether it involves creating a Lego building with a friend, designing a garden with their a family member, or being a kind to someone. The possibilities are endless!

Librarians have collaborated to ensure that the books listed in our guide are available to you at several of the local libraries in the CLAMS network. You are encouraged to visit your town library often during the summer months. Besides checking out books, you can also check their schedule and attend the fun activities planned for children of all ages. Librarians are there to assist you in discovering the best books for reading enjoyment and for learning.

In Brewster, Orleans, and Wellfleet, students who read at least 10 books over the summer, and in Eastham, students who participate in the Eastham Public Library Summer Reading Program will receive special recognition and a prize if they save the packet and bring it to school in September!

We hope your summer is filled with enjoyment and that some of that fun will include building a better world through reading!!

All the Best, Principals of the Nauset Elementary Schools: Mrs. Elaine Pender, Orleans Elementary Mrs. Joanna Hughes, Eddy Elementary Mrs. Denise Fronius, Stony Brook Elementary Mr. William Crosby, Eastham Elementary Mrs. Mary Beth Rodman, Wellfleet Elementary
