Five students qualify for a trip to Emporia, Kansas to attend the William Allen White Children's Book Awards 52nd Annual Celebration on October 2, 2004. In order to qualify, 3rd to 5th grade students had to read 14 or 15 books, depending on their grade level and pass the book tests with an 80% or higher accuracy by the end of March last spring.
15 students read at least 7 W.A.W. books and were rewarded with Cynthia's Pizza in Syracuse, KS. 34 students read at least four W.A.W. books and were eligible to cast a vote for their favoite W.A.W. book. Greeley County third to eighth grade students read over 214 W.A.W. books last year. Way to go!
