READ-A-THON PARTICIPANTS HONORED

On Friday, students participating in the Summer Read-a-thon gathered to celebrate their achievements. Elaine Donohue and Liz Rosenberry gathered the group in the library to award prizes and announce the results. More than 100 students participated with many students reaching or surpassing the personal reading goals they set for themselves. Overall, the group read nearly 1,500 books and raised more than $5,000 for new books for the Wildwood library.
