“It was nice to know how Mrs. Bemis teaches so that I was prepared for the school year.” -Rising 6th Grade Girl

“I went to reading camp over the summer and read the novel Peak. I thought it was going to be boring, but it was actually really fun an exciting. I learned a lot about climbing and Mt. Everest.” -Rising 8th Grade Boy
"We were very pleased when our son came home and actually discussed the book he was reading...he seemed to really enjoy the planned activities that related to the story." -7th Grade Parent
"In the summer I went to a reading camp so I would know what reading would be like when I got into 6th grade. I also got to meet Mrs. Bemis. It was super fun because we got to do reader’s theater and play the characters from the book. We also got to try Turkish food called Turkish Delight. It had powdered sugar all over it and was super delicious.” -Rising 6th Grade Boy
"I think the best part of the camp was that they focused on blending reading with interactive activities, which I think made it really fun." 7th Grade Parent
