Summer break means a lot of things to many people. For a lot of teachers at Lady’s Island Middle School, it means opportunities to read books that they do not get during the school year.

• Ms. Corbet (8th grade ELA)says, “I am going to read a lot! One book will be ‘Kedzie, Saint Helena Island Slave.’ I have to finish ‘America’s Longest Siege,’ and I have ‘Goldfinch’ after that.

• Ms. Burvenich will be reading through the entire “Divergent” series.

• Mr. Rodeig (Band) said, “ I just started reading David McCullough’s ‘Path Between the Seas.’”

• Ms. Smith, (Behavior Intervention) is going to digging into “A Day Late and A Dollar Short” by Terri McMillan.

• Reading Assistant Ms. Alexander is reading “The Invention of Wings” by Sue Monk Kidd, which is set in Charleston.
