Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,

We’re excited to announce our Summer Reading Challenge! From June 1 through September 1, we invite everyone to read five books of their choice to complete this bingo board and earn fun prizes (including ice cream sandwiches and advanced reader’s copies of new books). Copies of the bingo board are available in the MHS Library.

Whether you’re at the beach, traveling, or relaxing at home, this is the perfect chance to explore new stories and expand your imagination. You may complete this challenge by staying in your reading zone (sticking to your favorite genre) or expanding your reading horizons (checking out new authors and new books). 

How it works:
 ✅ Choose any five books you’d like to read this summer.
 ✅ Fill in your bingo card as you read.
 ✅ Submit your completed bingo card to the MHS Library by September 2nd to earn your prize(s)!

Browse this reading list for ideas about what books you may read for each BINGO category. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the document for additional ways to discover fantastic summer reads.

Everyone is also encouraged to sign up for the Santa Clara County Library District’s summer reading challenge as well! Earn two times the prizes for all your summer reading!

Ms. Ruby Leo, the Milpitas Library Teen Services Librarian, will be in the MHS Library tomorrow, Friday, May 30th at Lunch to launch the public library summer reading program. You’ll get a tote bag just for signing up! 

Let’s make this summer a celebration of books!

Happy Reading,
Mia Gittlen
