We ask that you help us with fundraiser ideas to offset this cost.
Also, please allow your child to EARN as much of the money as possible. This helps give a sense of leadership and ownership regarding the trip.
Dear students and parents/guardians,
As this school year comes to an end, we are already gearing up for next year. We are
excited to be a part of the team here at SCPA, and we look forward to getting to know everyone
better over the next year. We will introduce ourselves more in August. For now, we want to set
you up for success with your summer reading assignment, so that we can have a great start to
your sixth grade year.
All incoming sixth grade students will read TWO books over the summer. All students
are required to read Holes by Louis Sachar and Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. Please
note that summer reading is a requirement that significantly affects first quarter grades. Excuses
about not being able to find the books or not having time to read will NOT be accepted.
Books can be found at many public libraries, book stores, and online. Joseph-Beth
Booksellers and Barnes and Nobles are good choices for new books, and may be able to
special-order books if stock runs out in stores. Inexpensive books can often be found at
www.amazon.com or at Half Price Books.
Please read all of the following information carefully. If you have any questions over the
summer, please email one of us.
Sincerely,
6th Grade Language Arts Teachers
Krista Davidson Dawnetta Hayes

2) As you read, complete the enclosed packet. Pay attention to the directions for each
section. The packet will be collected for a major grade on Friday, August 17th.
3) Be prepared for a class discussion and/or test for both books in the first few weeks of
school. We will discuss a wide range of topics including: characters, setting, plot, and
theme. Discussion grades are based on participation and text-based responses.
