As boys sigh up for our Academic Adventures summer courses, we want to announce the details for Summer Reading and Writing: Have You Finished Your Summer Reading , Yet?

Alysson Reese- Session 1, June 1-5 (7^th Grade): The Graveyard Book

Also, Science Camp sign-ups are ongoing. I saw some applications come in this morning, and I want to encourage more enrollment into these really cool opportunities. Even if a boy does not attend MUS, he would appreciate these courses which are are a significant addition to the summer offerings in town. Maybe you know someone who would benefit? Think about it, and please send them the information if you would. From the Summer Stuff brochure:
