Summer Reading Program, 2009
All students are required to read three books over the summer. One of those must
be the book selected for an all-school reading assignment by the headmaster.
The headmaster’s selection is The Blue Star by Tony Earley.
The other two required books should come from the following list. If you see that
a faculty member has recommended a particular book, feel free to ask that faculty
member for additional information.
In the fall, your English teacher will ask you to fill out a pledged questionnaire
about your reading. You will receive full credit, partial credit, or no credit depending
upon the amount of reading you do.
If you read more than the required three books, you may receive extra credit
for other books you choose from this list or from a list that you and your English
teacher generate (with mutually acceptable titles) before you leave for the summer.
