Global Reading Challenge: ‘Awesome People’ win @ Arbor Heights

It’s time for the Seattle Public Library‘s Global Reading Challenge for 4th and 5th graders – call it the Battle of the Books. Last Friday, SPL librarians were at Arbor Heights Elementary School for the big event there. School librarian Jeanette Hagen reports that the “Awesome People” team got a perfect score! In the photo, shared by Kacy, the team members (from Ms. Sato’s and Ms. Boitano’s rooms) are: Chase, Ruby, Sophie-Briere, Daisy, Fathi, Sean, and Natalie, with (back room left) Mrs. Hagen and (back row right) principal Dr. Carol Coram. The “Awesome People” were one of eight teams in the competition at Arbor Heights; they’ll go downtown for the semifinals at the Central Library on March 16th.
