We are getting ready for the END of the school year.  All PGHS & KAMS students will be returning their school textbooks, core novels, and library books starting Friday, May 17th to Friday, May 31st.  Please listen for announcements from your teacher(s) or school bulletin about your scheduled return date. 

All students MUST return all textbooks, core novels, & library materials before leaving for summer break.  Uncleared library accounts will prevent students from participating in school activities, withhold report cards, and/or promotion events.

Treat yourself to the benefits of reading… 

• Reading for as little as 6 minutes can reduce stress by 60%, slow down heartbeat, ease muscle tension and alter your state of mind.
• On average, readers have better physical and mental health plus better empathy.
• Readers are more likely to help non-profit organizations both out-volunteering and out-donating non-readers.
• Reading just 3 to 5 books over the summer can prevent summer learning loss.
• Voluntary reading is essential to helping students become better readers, writers, spellers and critical thinkers!
• Duh, students who read recreationally out-perform compared to those who do not.
