Hello Aim High~
It's that time of year again when the Aim High summer program is wrapping up and we have a few weeks before the new school year begins. This is a great time to check in with us at Aim High to let us know what some of your favorite book authors are. Over the next couple of weeks I will be putting together a new book list for the Aim High Teen Book Club. I have some thoughts of my own and would love to include your thoughts and ideas.
You can post your suggestions on this blog or email Michelle, studentcenter@aimhigh.org.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!!!!!!!
:) Michelle @ Aim High
