June 2019 Dear Nauset Families,

Summer is a great time for reading just for the fun of it. The Nauset Summer Reading Program has been developed in conjunction with the town public libraries to focus on developing a love of literacy in students. The books you see listed in this Summer Reading Guide are suggestions for you. All of these titles have been carefully chosen and are known to be worthy of your time. Any book you read during the vacation, whether it is from our list or recommended by a friend or a relative, is a new adventure and strengthens your reading abilities.

Our Summer Reading theme for 2019 is “A Universe of Stories”. The goal is to provide books that foster an interest in outer space, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. The possibilities are endless!

Librarians have collaborated to ensure that the books listed in our guide are available to you at several of the local libraries in the CLAMS network. You are encouraged to visit your town library often during the summer months. Besides checking out books, you can also check their schedule and attend the fun activities planned for children of all ages. Librarians are there to assist you in discovering the best books for reading fun and learning.

In Brewster, Orleans, and Wellfleet, students who read at least 10 books over the summer, and in Eastham, students who participate in the Eastham Public Library Summer Reading Program will receive special recognition and a prize if they save the packet and bring it to school by the end of September!

We hope your summer is filled with enjoyment and that some of that fun will include exploring libraries and reading!!

All the Best,

Principals of the Nauset Elementary Schools

Mrs. Elaine Pender, Orleans Elementary

Mrs. Joanna Hughes, Eddy Elementary

Mr. Keith Gauley, Stony Brook Elementary

Mr. William Crosby, Eastham Elementary

Mrs. Mary Beth Rodman, Wellfleet Elementary
