A Letter From Dr. Ben Carson!

Reading is one of the most important skills you can develop in life. It opens doors to new worlds, helps you understand different ideas, and makes you a better thinker. Whether you are reading about American history, amazing heroes, or simply a fun adventure, books have the power to shape your mind and your future.

This summer, I encourage you to take on the Patriotic Pages Summer Reading Challenge! It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow while enjoying exciting books with your family. Reading not only helps you become a better student, but it also makes you a stronger citizen who understands our country’s past, present, and future. So, let’s read, explore, and discover together!

I can’t wait to hear what you’ve learned!

Dr. Ben Carson
