Have a safe and FUN summer! 

Arcola Elementary is proud to present a unique opportunity for our students
and families to participate in over the summer. We are inviting the entire
community to join us in our “One School, One Book, One Voice” project. This
project is a movement designed to get an entire school community, including
parents, involved in the joy of reading. The theme of both reading selections
are promoting kindness and acceptance of others.

 BELOW ARE THE BOOKS WE WOULD LIKE TO READ OVER THE SUMMER!
GRADES K-2 - The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwi
GRADES 3-5 - Wishtree by Katherine Applegate

 The benefits of reading aloud with your children is remarkable! Reading to children
helps them to listen better and longer, it enhances their vocabulary, builds on their
comprehension skills, and allows students to have a positive attitude about the
books they’ve read and about learning. Let’s not forgot the overall excitement of
building the community in our school family as well. Nothing can beat spending
quality time with your children while promoting the benefits of reading and our
school.
Please join us this summer with this wonderful way of promoting reading in our
school. We’ll be discussing these books with the students in the Fall.
