Summer Reading Challenge is due September 14/15. Please turn into you child's teacher.
Core Virtue Book Drive
Our academy has traditionally relied on the local libraries to supply these books, as there has not been a designated budget for purchasing them directly. Over the last 2 years, we’ve noticed many libraries are no longer carrying some of our cherished Core Virtue books and Site Directors are having difficulties obtaining them for our Morning Gathering lesson.
We’re now asking families to help us build our collection!
If you have any of these books at home, or would like to purchase and donate a title from our Core Virtue Book List, we would be incredibly grateful. Every book helps preserve the heart of our program and enriches our students.
Please consider contributing from the lists below (The 2026-27 year we will work off of Year 3 list):
You are welcome to drop off any book donations in the office or bring them to the Used Curriculum Sale, where we will have a donation bin set up.
Thank you for supporting our community and helping us preserve these treasured stories!
Sponsors
It's no secret that long-term success for local businesses is rooted in strong community relationships. Why not strengthen those connections by becoming a PEO sponsor?
