πŸ“š Summer Reading Challenge Extended Through August 15!


Dear Starworld Families,

To give our students additional time after returning to school, we have extended the Starworld Summer Reading Challenge through Saturday, August 15, 2026.

The first weeks of a new school year are busy, but they are also a great time to strengthen the habit of reading. Our goal isn't simply to finish booksβ€”it's to help students develop the daily discipline of lifelong learning. Reading builds the focus, vocabulary, confidence, and self-discipline that help students succeed in the classroom, the dojang, and throughout life.
