Lower School SummerReads
Diversity comes in all shapes and sizes. Our diversity is reflected in our families, our cultural heritages, and our religions. This summer, all Pike students, faculty, staff, and administration will read books dealing with aspects of diversity in our community. Lower School SummerReads Lower School families are encouraged to read a variety of books looking for windows and mirrors. Where are you looking into someone else’s experience and where do you see your experiences reflected? Some of our favorite books are below, and we know you'll find your own fabulous titles.
