The month of March is the time for middle school students to cast their ballot for best RI Middle School Book for 2021. Here is the list of nominees. Students are eligible to vote if they have read at least 3 titles from the list. Last summer student read two books from the list for summer reading. So the chances are most of the students in our building have read at least 3 titles. We will make an announcement later this month for official voting. If students have not read at least three titles, please encourage them to do so over the next few weeks so they can vote!
