A hug to last through summer // Richmond’s J.E.B. Stewart Elementary School Principal Jennifer Moore gives kindergartners a big group hug last Friday, the last day of school. She reminded students to keep in mind her motto during the summer break: “Read, read, read.” During the summer, many students forget some of what they have learned during the school year. Called the “summer slide,” research indicates that reading just six books during the summer can help prevent loss of progress in reading.
