"If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer, If you're a pretender, come, sit by my fire."
Shel Silverstein from his poem "Invitation" in Where the Sidewalk Ends (1974)

Student Summer Reading Choices for 2025
Civics Summer Read for all 8th graders
We the People! By Don Brown
(# 4 from the series: Big Ideas That Changed the World)
For this class-wide Civics read, author Don Brown used his writing and drawing skills to make the basics of the history of the government of the United States accessible to middle-grade readers. A fictionalized Abigail Adams narrates the history of government throughout civilization from monarchies and empires to republics and democracies. The book traces the origins of our three branches of government from Greek assemblies, our Bill of Rights from Mali’s Manden Charter and England’s Magna Carta, and our Constitution from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
