Dear Students,
It has been a pleasure teaching and working with all of you. I enjoyed watching you grow and learn throughout the year. I know you will do an amazing job next year! As much as we want to forget about school in the summer, we can’t quite forget about our favorite summer reading! :) To help you be more prepared for next year, I have suggested a few book titles that you can try reading over the summer. They may be challenging at first, but I know you will get the hang of them. I can’t wait to hear all about your stories when you return next year , inshallah. Have a great summer everyone!
