Star students shine at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School
READ: a simple but powerful word is all the encouragement students at
Edna Louise Spear Elementary School need to hear to inspire them to
become lifelong learners.
Five students from the school were named “Star Students” by librarian
Selinda Stout to promote the importance of literacy and independent
reading. The school’s campaign, created by Stout, takes place several
times per year and is a takeoff of the American Library Association
Celebrity READ Campaign.
The students were chosen for their excellent attitude, behavior and work
ethic in the library. As a reward, they have their photos displayed on
the bulletin board outside of the library along with a summary of their
favorite book. Stout also sends home a printed version of the poster for
families to enjoy.
“It’s a pleasure to recognize these students for their motivation for the program and to embrace reading books,” said Stout.
Star students are Kieran Browne – grade 1, Katherine Snaden – grade 2,
Violet Carmon – grade 3, Kristina Shterengas – grade 4 and Savannah
Florio – grade 5.
