MVUSD is sending all elementary students home this summer with a bag of books to keep them academically sharp for the two-month break and reduce the effect of the “summer learning deficit.”
This is the second year for the “Spend Your Summer Reading” program initiated by Superintendent Dr. Martinrex Kedziora with direction from the School Board.
Each TK-5 student is receiving six books from our partners at Scholastic, who also arranged for Clifford, the Big Red Dog to be on hand.
“Many of our students don’t have books at home,” said Dr. Kedziora. “While we couldn’t offer summer school to every student, we could provide books for them to read and share with each other.”
Students at Edgemont Elementary School were first to receive their treasures at an exciting kick-off event, but all elementary students will receive their book bags before the end of school on June 8.
