Mrs. Petroccia has posted the summer required reading lists for all grades on the Media Center page of the IMS web site.  Students are required to read one of the three choices over the summer and be ready to take a Reading Counts test on the book at the start of the 2012-2013 school year.

To find the reading lists, visit the school’s web site at

then click on “Media Center and Reading Counts” on the right side of the page under “Contents.”  The reading lists for all grades are located on the right side of the page under “Contents.”
