✨ Our ELA students are diving into the 20 South Carolina Junior Book Award Nominees for 2025–2026 during library lessons with Mrs. Courtney and Mrs. Fisher!

Students rotated through engaging stations—exploring books and watching book trailers. The goal...to spark curiosity and build excitement for this year’s nominees! To kick things off, one lucky winner per class was chosen at random to receive a nominee of their choice! 📚

Students who read at least 3 nominees and log their reading with responses in Beanstack will be invited to a special literacy celebration in February where they’ll get to vote for their favorite book. 🗳️

All votes from across the state will be combined to crown the official South Carolina Junior Book Award winner! 🎉

Way to go, Monarchs—let’s read, celebrate, and make our voices count!
