summer reading 2018

Studies have shown that summer reading is vitally important to prevent "summer slide," the loss of learning that can occur during the break. All Fulton County students are being challenged to read every day this summer for at least 15-30 minutes.

 Mr. Allison is encouraging all Sweet Apple students to participate in Wolfie's Summer Challenge.
