Middle School Reads: Home

Featured Author: Dan Santat Trevor 2024 Visiting Author

We encourage all students to read all summer long for pleasure, for knowledge, and to stay in the practice of reading. The MS and US Library will send out monthly newsletters with a Zoom link for the summer book club, book videos, and trailers, and information about new reads. All students are invited to join Ms. Casey in the book club (day and time to be announced), to discuss their current reads, play book trivia games, and win prizes. Books featured in the book club will be available for check-out on the SORA app and website. Students simply need to log in with their Trevor username and password to access the titles. Please let Ms. Casey know if you need help logging in.
