Dear 3rd & 4th Year Lower School Families:
The Forest & Mountain Reader’s Choice Award was created to celebrate the
reading tastes and interests of our students. Modeled after the North Carolina
Children’s Book Award, Forest and Mountain students nominated their favorite books,
and a committee of 4th year students selected the final 20 books on this list.
Students are encouraged to read as many of the books on this list as they like this
summer and in the 2017-18 school year. Students who read at least 5 books from
this list will be eligible to vote for their favorite next year, and the winning book will
receive this award seal!
Sincerely,
Forest & Mountain teachers
and Natalie, LS LibrarianStudent Name: _______________________________
