Join the 2013 Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge! The challenge begins Monday, May 6th, 2013. Let's fight the 'Summer Slide' by encouraging our students to read all summer and log their minutes for a friendly competition! All NES students are encouraged to participate, and top readers of our current K-4 grades will receive gift certificates to our fall book fair. The top 20 schools with the most summer reading minutes will be featured in the Scholastic Book of World Records 2014! Check with your student's teacher to see if the class is being enrolled in bulk, or click here for individual instructions.
