Hello, Quest Families!

The State has an amazing program called Kids Read Now! This program allows our students, Kindergarten through 3^rd Grade, to select FOUR FREE BOOKS to read during the summer (they’ll be shipped to your house). The intent is to encourage reading during the summer months and to help students maintain their reading skills. If you would like to opt out of this program and not receive four free books, please email Susan Goldsberry (sgoldsberry@questac.org) and let her know you’re opting out. Orders will only be fulfilled once we have indicated who is participating and who has opted out, so we need everyone to either select books or reach out to Susan. Please click here for an instructional video on selecting and receiving these books. Please select your books by Friday, May 19^th. Thanks for all you do. Happy summer and happy READING!
