Summer School
Summer School Reading
“The habits we form from childhood make no small difference, but rather they make all the difference.” - Aristotle
During the summer, it’s easy to fall into a routine where our children stop reading, learning, and maintaining their brain. As educators, we recognize that children will have their learning flatten or even lose 2-3 months work of learning if they don’t keep reading and thinking about math over the summer.

All STFXCS students receive various resources to help them continue learning through the summer in a fun and engaging way. Reading for pleasure is especially encouraged to help grow a student's vocabulary, imagination, knowledge base, and comprehension skills.
One of our School Wide Learning Expectations describes Saint Francis Xavier students as life-long learners. We celebrate this whenever we can. Students who achieve individual goals for reading and learning over the summer are recognized in assemblies, newsletters and with a small reward upon their return to school in the fall.
