Monarch+Award+2012


 * Monarch Award 2012 **

====**The Monarch Award**: The Illinois State Library Media Association sponsors this award. Students in grades K-3 are invited to read from the list of 20 nominated titles. Any student who reads or hears 10 of the books will be invited to vote for their favorite title. The program runs from December until February. Each Friday there is a mini-assembly to share two of the nominated books. The final assembly is a campaign assembly run by the students in Rooms 208 and 210. Voting takes place at the end of February. It’s a wonderful opportunity for young students to have a voice and share their opinions about books.====
