A fifth-grade student from each Caroline County Public School elementary school was recognized as an awesome reader by the Friends of the Library at the organization’s annual meeting on June 18, at the Wharves of the Choptank in Denton.
Grace Sabo from Denton Elementary School, Bailey Harris from Federalsburg Elementary School, Rylee Rousan from Greensboro Elementary School, Willow Willis from Preston Elementary School, Amari Jenkins from Ridgely Elementary School were each recognized during their school’s annual awards ceremony, given a certificate, and they each will have their names engraved on a plaque at the school.
The students and their families were invited to attend the Friends annual meeting to pick up the prize of an Amazon Kindle Kids, with a 6-month subscription.
The Friends of the Library is a membership-based organization that promotes reading for kids and adults and raises funds to help the Caroline County Library provide the latest media and technology.
Author’s note: I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Library, but did not participate in the selection of, or honoring of, the student awardees.
