Linden Summer Reading Challenge 

Summer is a great time to dive into many, many, good books.  All Linden Leopards are invited to participate in the Linden Summer Reading Challenge.  It is simple!  Complete the reading board and reading log throughout the summer by reading on your own or being read to by an adult.  When school starts, return your reading board and reading log.  The class with the most participation will get to go shopping at the book fair for their classroom library. 

Enjoy your summer and happy reading!
