Summer Reading Breakfast

For those students who participated in the Summer Reading program, there will be a breakfast in the media center on Thursday, August 25th. We'll have doughnuts, fruit, breakfast bars, juice, milk, and lots of prizes! Slips were due Friday, Aug. 19th.

Summer Reading!

For summer reading this year, CMS is partnering with the York County Library. They are planning a summer filled with good books, prizes, and special events. The theme for this summer will be "You Are Here." All rising 6th-12th grade students are eligible to participate. Stop in at any York County Library branch (Clover, Lake Wylie, York, Fort Mill, or Rock Hll) beginning June 6th to pick up your reading log. Complete 15 hours of reading, then return your completed reading log (no later than July 29th) to collect your prize (a travel journal) and enter you name into the Grand Prize drawing (for gift cards to Best Buy, Gamestop, Target, and McDonalds). When school resumes in August, I will have a breakfast (donuts & juice) and door prizes for those students who completed the summer reading log. The librarian at the public library will give you a document to return to me the first week of school (no later than Aug. 19). I hope you have a fantastic summer.... and Happy Reading!

Don't forget... if you're participating in the summer reading challenge, your forms are due back NO LATER THAN Thursday, August 21st.

Summer Reading Challenge

By now, you should have received your own copy of Schooled by Gordon Korman. I hope this won't be the only book you read this summer! I have a challenge for all of you who will be attending Clover Middle School next year. The idea is to read a variety of books and earn points & prizes! The main character in Schooled is a hippie, so the prizes are all hippie-related. On the school's website, you will find a chart (or game board) to guide your reading. I will also have the list of prizes there for you. Below is a short video that explains the summer reading challenge more thoroughly. Have a fantastic summer, and enjoy some great books!
