Ride the wave with GHS
Fill out this form each time you read or listen to a book and be invited to an ice cream social!
Students might consider choosing one of the
**SC book award nominees, however,
choosing from that list is not required.
AP English students are encouraged
to read non-fiction books.
**Notice for Parents/Guardians: Young Adult titles often cover mature subject matter and may include strong language.
Parents/guardians should review the chosen title to determine if the book seems appropriate for their student reader.
By offering choice, we hope students will find
‘books they won’t be able to put down’
so they can authentically engage in summer reading and ultimately
'fall in love’ with reading
so they are better prepared to engage in academic reading.

Staff Summer Reading
This summer, all GHS staff are encouraged to read Young Adult (YA) literature.
When staff returns to school in August, we will use summer reading experiences
to nourish a community of readers who share and talk about books.
All participating staff members will be put into a drawing for a prize using this form.
If you would like to receive recertification points for reading YA books,
follow these steps and complete this form.
