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. Orders will only be fulfilled once we have indicated that every child has made their selections.

Watch this short video with instructions for Kids Read Now: Kids Read Now

Please select your books by Friday, May 3rd . Thanks for all you do. Happy summer and happy READING!
