Do you have a favorite book?

Attention 3rd, 4th and 5th graders: 
You will be voting for your favorite title in April,
but to be eligible to vote, you need to have read at least three of the nominees (movies don't count).  To see the list of nominees, click here.

 You are welcome to make a poster to encourage others to vote for your favorite story!  Remember to only put your first name and school on the front, and do your very best work.  We will display the posters at Skano and the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library.  Questions? 
See Mrs. Kirby-LeMon or email her.
