Summer Reading
2025 Summer Reading Program: AdVenture into Reading
Summer is here—and the learning journey continues! At Venture, we want to keep students growing all year long. To help prevent the summer slide and prepare students for a strong start in the fall, we invite all K–7 students to participate in our “AdVenture into Reading” program, launching May 31. For our full letter to families, check out our blog post.
