Tuesday, September 16, was our annual Summer Reading Celebration. I am elated to say that 175 students were honored at this event!!! That's double the amount of students from last year's celebration. These students all turned in proof to me that they read over the summer and they were more prepared to start this school year because of their efforts. Great job, manatees-- I am so proud of you!
Both Mr. Bradley and Mrs. Hairston congratulated students on their dedication.
Our special guests this year were Ms. Dee and Ms. Shane, librarians from the Braggtown branch of the Durham Public Library.
Student actors performed in a reader's theater version of the folktale: The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything.
At the end of the celebration all students selected a new book to keep and a bookmart. There were so many good choices--it was hard to decide!!
A few students proudly show off their choice :)
Each student who performed in the Reader's Theater also received a Fizz Boom Read! shirt from the public library's summer reading program.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this event a success. Also a big thank you to the librarians at Braggtown for providing the entertainment and enthusiasm. And of course, congratulations to ALL our readers--remember you are S.T.A.R.s!
