Graduating seniors across Cumberland County are getting more excited every day as graduation day approaches! 2013 Graduation Schedule.

Cumberland County Schools is excited to participate in the “Give Five – Read Five” campaign that was launched on Tuesday, April 23, by State School Superintendent June Atkinson.

There is a troubling trend called summer loss in which students lose valuable literacy skills when they stop reading during their break from school. Research done at Harvard University by Dr. James Kim shows that even reading four or five books over the summer helps to prevent the “summer slump.”

Cumberland County Schools invites YOU to be a part of the initiative. Parents and business leaders are asked to donate five new or gently-used books to local elementary schools with the hopes that children will leave school with five books they can read over the summer. 

For more information, call the CCS’ Communications and Public Relations Department at 910.678.2303.

Beginning school is a big step in the life of every child. Kindergarten Summer Camp is FREE and provides an opportunity for rising kindergartners to attend a one-week camp before the start of school in August to help ease the transition from home to school. The camp’s primary focus is health literacy and encourages parents to complete their kindergartner’s health assessment and immunizations prior to enrolling their child. School Nurses and community health agencies will be present at the required parent night (date shared upon acceptance.) 

Kindergarten Summer Camp will be held twice over the summer. The first camp will be held July 15 – 19, 2013, and the second camp will be held July 29 – August 2, 2013. Summer Camp will run from 8 a.m. to 12 noon each day.
