Virginia Reader’s Choice Voting Party
Sixty students attended the VRC voting party on April 10th. They painted “beehives,” feasted on homemade blueberry enchiladas from A Handful of Stars, played with ”Fuzzy Mud,” and voted for their favorite VRC book. The result was a tie between Fuzzy Mud and A Handful of Stars!
Be on the lookout for information on the GVES Library-Summer Reading Challenge! Your child will be bringing home instructions for this fun program to keep them reading through the dog days of summer!
Students in grades K-2 have voted Glow: Animals with Their Own Night-Lights as their favorite Virginia Reader’s Choice book after reading all 10 in library!! We can’t wait to find out if their choice wins for VA!
