As we head into summer, we invite you to experience the joy of a great book and reflect on the essential question: What happens when we let curiosity guide us? Curiosity is the engine of learning, driving us to investigate and expand our understanding of the world around us. Whether you are reading a nonfiction account of how individuals define and solve complex societal problems or exploring a fictional universe that invites you to encounter new concepts and different ways of thinking, every book offers a path to discovery. When we let curiosity guide our reading choices, we can uncover stories that help us appreciate how different experiences, cultures, and beliefs shape people's lives and actions. We hope this summer reading program encourages you to get lost in a good book, ask thoughtful questions about the pages you read, and return to school eager to share what you found.
⭐ PLEASE NOTE: The summer reading committee chooses books based on the variety of interests, experiences, and identities of BHS students. The texts include a range of topics. Some books on the list explore difficult, sensitive subject matter. Before choosing books, be sure to read a review of the book and look up the topic(s) it explores. Discuss the book options with your family to help you decide which books best fit your needs.
Once you have chosen your top three books, fill out this google form to register.
