MVUSD is sending all 16,000 elementary students home this summer with a bag of books to keep them academically sharp for the two-month break and reduce the effect of the “summer learning deficit.” Under the new “Spend Your Summer Reading” program, begun by Superintendent Dr. Martinrex Kedziora, each TK-5 student is receiving five books from our partners at Scholastic, who also arranged for Clifford, the Big Red Dog to be on hand. That works out to more than 75,000 books! “Many of our students don’t have books at home,” said Dr. Kedziora. “While we couldn’t offer summer school to every student, we could provide books for them to read and share with each other.” Students at Sunnymead Elementary were first to receive their treasures at an exciting kick-off event, but all elementary students will receive their book bags before the end of school on June 9.
