Step Two: Get Your Books
When you know which book or books you want to check out for the summer, you can either send Ms. Binder (CHS Librarian) an email with the title/author of the book/books you want, or you can fill out this simple book request form.
Ms. Binder will deliver your books to you before the end of the year.
Step Three: READ!
Step Three: READ!
We encourage you to read often and read widely all summer long! This summer, we also invite all rising 9-12th grade CHS students to keep track of the minutes they spend reading, and report their totals to Ms. Binder.
The class with the most minutes logged by the end of September (yes, I'm giving you an extra month) will be recognized during our Spirit Week festivities in October!
Plus, the top 25 individual readers in grades 9-12 will be invited to an exclusive celebration in the CHS Library in the fall!
See below for how to track and report your reading minutes.
