Summer Reading

Each year we ask our students to continue their learning through the summer. Acquiring knowledge, exercising intellectual curiosity, and reading for aesthetic pleasure are activities that should not cease in the summer months. Consequently, Pingry provides a summer reading list for all students. Families can find the reading for each grade level here!
