“Education is so much more than reading, writing, and math. Education is first and foremost teaching and training children to know Jesus as their personal Friend and Savior. It is fostering a character in students that is reflective of Jesus. I believe that my role as an educator is to teach children not only for today and tomorrow, but also for eternity.”

Dear Parents and Students,
As we approach the summer break, I am delighted to share with you a curated list of recommended reads for our HMS Richards Adventist School community. Please find
attached the list of books that I believe will inspire, entertain, and expand young minds.
Before suggesting any book to your child, I encourage you to review the content yourself to ensure it aligns with your values and preferences. Additionally, remember
that this list is just the beginning. This list is only the start. As you delve into the world of literature, you will stumble upon new authors and titles that capture your child’s
imagination.
Reading is not just an activity; it’s a journey that allows us to travel, learn, explore, and imagine. I hope this summer provides ample opportunities for your family to embark on
exciting literary adventures.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer!
