Summer Reading is an important part of the curriculum of St. Benilde School.  The reading list for grades 1 
through 7 are made of Accelerated Reader titles for which we have quizzes.  Students are required to read one
book chosen from this list.  Our Scholastic Book Fair, which will be held March 19th thru 23rd, will try
to provide as many titles as possible from this list for you to purchase.  If you choose a book which is not
available, you may check it out at the Public Library or purchase it at a Book Store.  Students will be required
to take a quiz for each book he/she reads.  They should not choose one which they have already read and
for which they have already taken a quiz, because the computer will not allow them to take the quiz again.
Quizzes may be taken when they return to school, or on the following dates-- June 20th and 27th, July 18th 
and 25th from 10 a.m. until 12 noon.
A biography of a Saint will also be required during the summer.  We will also have some of these books at the fair.
Please include 8.75% sales tax to the total of your order.  Checks should be made payable to St. Benilde School.
