Summer is here but the learning can continue in many other ways!
Encourage your student to explore an area of interest with Brecknock’s Summer Challenge.
BrainPop is a great resource for fun and learning. Check out their flyer for ways to receive summer ideas.
Students in grades 2-6 can participate in the Achieve 3000 40-Activity Challenge to have a chance to win prizes.
We are excited that the PTO is bringing Matt Novak, a children’s book author and illustrator, to visit our students on Wednesday, May 2nd. You can order his books for your child and have them signed by Mr. Novak.

Checks should be made out to Brecknock PTO.
Achieve 3000 is having another contest for our students. Our last class winner was Mrs. Snyder’s 6th grade class. Which class will win this contest?
From February 12 through March 9, when students in grades 2-6 complete lessons on Achieve’s differentiated literacy platform, they will earn contest points. Every activity that a student completes, whether in class, at home, or anywhere else, earns his or her class a point. Plus, double and even triple points are awarded for high scores so that students are motivated to achieve the greatest possible reading growth. The class at Brecknock with the most points at the end of the contest wins!
