For many years, New Central students have participated in the Bluestem and Monarch reading award programs through AISLE. This opportunity is made possible by a Rotary Literacy Grant. We thank our local Rotary Club for their continued support with these programs! Last week, students voted for their favorite books. Attached are a few photos of third and fourth graders voting for their favorite Bluestem books. They read at least 5 books from the list of 20.
