Best Book In Earth |
|||||
Best Book In Earth program was developed to foster a love of reading within our students. Reading is the basic foundation of all learning, thus we saw the importance of teaching our students that reading is not only important for their academic futures, but it can also be fun. Our librarian, Linda Thompson, along with a group of teachers developed the program and came up with the requirements for students to participate along with the timeline of the program. |
