All community members who participate in this summer's BINGO will be entered in the prize drawing! You will receive a raffle ticket for every row you complete in any direction and double tickets for completing the whole sheet. Happy Reading!
On LibGuides, you’ll be able to access required and optional summer reading materials through Sora. We encourage you to make use of this amazing resource throughout the summer.
However, you MUST bring your own hard copy of the required reading with you on the first day of school in September. We expect you to have read and annotated that physical copy of the book you selected for your required summer reading.
You are welcome to make use of any edition or version of the optional readings that you can get your hands on.
Please keep in mind that even if you rush home and read the text tonight, you should still give yourself time to review it in the days immediately before school begins. The first day will be better for everyone if the text is fresh in your mind.
Each of the Middle School tabs on the left has grade specific instructions for required Summer Reading from the English Department. If you have any questions about required reading from the English Department, please reach out to Dr. Kate Olson at kolson@friendsseminary.org.
All required books are provided by the school and will be sent home with you before your last day on campus. If you are new to the community and need to receive your books, please contact the Middle School Office.
If you do not have your Sora account activated, you may make an appointment with Adrienne at aalmeida@friendsseminary.org until Friday, June 13, 2025. We hope you will support your local libraries and local independently owned bookshops for print copies of the books. See The "All Community Resources" tab on the left for more information about public library offerings and using Sora.
The titles are all hyper linked to our Sora library. If you would like to borrow the digital copy, please do so. If you are planning to buy a print copy, you may use the provided links to read a description and sample of the book. Please ❌ DO NOT click Borrow ❌ if you just want to read a sample. There is a separate ✅ READ SAMPLE ✅ button. Thank you for being thoughtful stewards of our collection.
