The Florida Reading Association (FRA) sponsors
an annual reading poster contest open to all secondary school
students
in the State. They accept only 1 winning poster
from each school (obviously not all schools participate). We had
approximately
75 participants in this year's school contest.
Our school's winner, Jennifer Dominquez (9th grade), also won
1st place
for the entire state! Her poster, entitled "Dive into
a Good Book" will be on the cover of the FRA calendar
and will be this year's official bookmark illustration.
Her prize consisted of a large basket of books, including:
novels, graphic stories, poetry, DVD sets, and more. Our
school also won a fabulous "bucket of books" to
use in her reading classroom.
