Summer Reading List
Summer is a great time for a
good book
During the summer, books might be the last thing on your child's
mind. Most kids are ready for a break and happy to trade in
reading, writing, and math for summer camp, family vacations and
lazy beach days. But many studies have shown that children who
read when they're away from school perform better academically
than those who don't. If you're looking for a book that will
spark your child's interest in reading this summer, check out
the ASK Summer Reading List.

»Purchase

ASK students helping to reduce world hunger
 |
The ASK Elementary
School Art Department is selling a unique collection of
custom-designed t-shirts this summer to raise money for Heifer
International, a non-profit organization working to reduce world
hunger. Before school let out, ASK students participated in an
Earth Day theme art competition. Contest winners received a
t-shirt, screened with their original artwork as a special
prize. Copies of shirts can be purchased throughout the summer.
Orders now being taken: The shirts are on display at
Upfront Exhibition Space (31 Jersey Avenue) through Sept. 2.
After school opens, they will be displayed at Port Java. There
are two order dates - Orders placed before Aug. 28 will be
delivered Sept. 12.
- Orders placed before Sept. 25 will be delivered Oct. 10.
Order forms are available at Upfront Exhibition Station and Port
Java. The form can also be downloaded by

Learn more about Heifer International: Instead of
providing hungry families with a non- renewable source of food,
Heifer provides a “living loan” of an animal. The family’s
health and standard of living is greatly improved by what that
animal can provide - might it be milk from a cow or goat, eggs from
poultry, meat, and draft power from a water buffalo or wool from
a llama. For more information, visit
