“Learning should be motivating, engaging, personal and enjoyable. There is something very special about watching children learn, that moment when they ‘get it’. The opportunity to teach children and to invite God into every decision, every subject and every part of their life is an honor and a privilege There is no higher calling than to share the love of Jesus through education with our children. They are the treasures we can take with us to Heaven.”

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!
