Newsbreak for Walpole
Week of July 8 The Year 2002
Stay Cool in Summer
The three H days are here for a while. Hazy, hot, and humid are the ingredients for a sweltering time in July.
With youngsters on summer vacation, parents assume the age-old task of helping their children find ways to relax and enjoy the vacation – but not chill out too much.
Driving by playgrounds, we all see the wealth of games being played by kids of all ages. The pools are crowded. The streets continue to be pathways for joggers and skate board enthusiasts.
Exercise does occupy a great deal of time for many.
However, we would like to remind the students here of the critical nature of the Walpole Public Schools summer reading program. It is all too easy to put off the required reading until the start of school approaches in late August.
The problem may be that the books may not be available in the library or in the bookstores. And, the press of time may make it difficult to finish the reading.
Here’s a reminder.
The summer reading program for high school students is a very important aspect of the first term in September. Remember that the essay to be written in class the first of school will count 10% of that first term grade.
In order to do well, it is recommended that students read their books slowly and carefully and take notes.
Bring in the notes to school in order that the detail information about the book will be available for you.
So ……..
enjoy the vacation…… and keep in mind the specific requirements of the summer reading program.
