    Students in Kindergarten sang songs to start off the program. Our historians in grade 1-6 each picked a person from history who contributed in some way. They did research, created “I” statements about that person, created a costume, and presented their speeches to our audience.

    What an awesome evening it was. Thank you to everyone who helped put the night together!

    Educational Horizons Students Participate in United Way Summer Reading Challenge

    Congratulations to our students who participated in the United Way Summer Reading Challenge. In September they were treated to an ice cream surprise and a goodie bag with treats as they met and discussed the books they read over the summer. Great Job!

    Educational Horizons Students Participate in United Way Summer Reading Challenge

    Research shows that students lose much of the school year’s progress if they do not read over the summer months.

    Brevard Public Schools challenged our students to read as many books as they could read over the summer months. As parents you can always help your children avoid the typical “summer slide” of learning loss by providing access to reading materials and encouraging them to read frequently, both on their own and with a family member.

    Suggested Summer Reading Lists

    The lists linked below include a wide variety of books that will appeal to the interests and maturity levels of many students. Parents are encouraged to review book selections with their children in order to help them make appropriate choices.
