2013 Reading Lists Will Be Revealed

The FES Mock Newbery Book Club will re-convene in September. During the first week of school we will open registration to 4th and 5th grade students who are interested in reading and discussing books eligible for the 2013 Newbery Medal.

Over the summer you can check this site to see which books we will read and discuss during our lunch meetings. Members need to read a minimum of five books from the reading lists to be eligible to vote in January, and summer is a great time to get a head start.

Be sure to check the FES blog often for Mock Newbery updates.

Happy Reading!
Mrs. Potter
