Access to reading materials and staying engaged with the learning process during the summer are especially important this year, as students and families have had to navigate learning from home with the closure of schools in recent months. Plus, public libraries have been closed. With this free offer, elementary school students in second and third grades have access to the <i>Kidz Stuff Summer Bridge<\/i>\u00a0activities book, while secondary school students in sixth and ninth grades are able to subscribe to<i>The Morning Call<\/i>\u00a0for 13 weeks. This reading opportunity is sponsored by the ASD Foundation with support of\u00a0<i>The Morning Call<\/i>.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Interested families may sign up for either publication by submitting an order form to ASDF, by mail, email or text (please see below). Students may receive one issue of the\u00a0<i>Kidz Stuff Summer Bridge<\/i>\u00a0activity book or 13 weeks of the Thursday and Sunday editions of\u00a0<i>The Morning Call<\/i>.
