This is a great opportunity for students to keep academic skills sharp, while having fun at the same time. Students with perfect attendance during summer school will receive $100 at the end of the summer school session. Those students with 7 or fewer hours absence will receive $75, and students missing from 7 to 14 hours attendance will receive $50. Enrollment forms may be picked up in either the elementary or high school office or by clicking on the link below. For those students needing before &/or after school care, Athena will be open. If you have any questions, please call Ms. Smiddy at 238-1646 ext. 254.

A handout with the essay contest rules and possible prizes is available in my room. I also have a few copies of the book (first come, first serve). Since the book is over 1,000 pages in length, I highly recommend that you complete this assignment over the summer.
