A New Award


The prairie grass in Illinois is called Bluestem. And now, so is our new readers' award. Illinois librarians decided to add an award for students in grades three through five. The first time this award will be made is in February of 2011. Prairieview School students will participate. Perhaps we can plant some Bluestem grass to be viewed from the school.We will continue to participate in choosing the Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award. It is intended for 4th through 8th graders. Sometimes the selections are a little sophisticated for the younger students in this group. However, we don't want to discourage our more advanced readers.
At Elizabeth Ide, we will continue to participate in the Monarch Award. Intended for kindergarten through 3rd grade students, it has been very popular.
