Dear Incoming Freshmen,
 
This summer, students in the Academy and Honors Programs will be asked to read TWO books from the list below. Please review these options with your parents/guardians and use websites like www.commonsensemedia.org to evaluate the books before you make your selection. While reading, you should keep track of important information and annotate (take notes) in the books. These annotations will help you with an in-class essay during the first week of school.

Students admitted into the Ryken Program will be asked to read Make Your Bed from the list below and fill out this graphic organizer while reading to help with an in-class essay during the first week of school.
 
If you have any questions, please email me at kmorris@xaverian.org.

Enjoy your summer!
 
Ms. Kathleen Morris
