Dear Parent/Guardian,
Hello, my name is Mrs. Kate Healy and I teach 6th grade English Language Arts at Montgomery County R-II Middle School. I wanted to reach out to you, on behalf of the MCMS ELA Department, regarding summer reading. I am aware that the summer months are a welcome opportunity for fun and relaxation. However, I am hopeful that this summer will also be a continued opportunity for students to carry on reading self-selected books.
MCMS will not be hosting a formal summer reading project this year. However, I still encourage students to continue to read self-selected books of their choosing over the summer months. You will find a list of book ideas and resources for you to use to support your child’s reading efforts in a separate document in your email.
Please know we are here to help your child succeed, so please do not hesitate to reach out should you require assistance of any kind over the summer months.
Yours in education,
Mrs. Kate Healy
