Posted
Students from West Point Elementary School and Sunset Hills Elementary School were recently recognized for being named finalists in the annual Friends of the Surprise Libraries Bookmark Contest.
Each year, Friends of the Surprise Libraries invites local sixth through eighth grade students to participate and create bookmarks depicting reading and literacy. First place, honorable mention, and a Mayor’s Choice Award are selected in each grade category.
The following students were selected as finalists:
• First Place — Grace Luu (6th grade, Sunset Hills) and Layla Calico (8th grade, West Point).
• Honorable Mention - Kayla Krise (6th grade, West Point), Isabella Jordan (7th grade, West Point), and Kayla Patnod (8th grade, West Point).
• Mayor’s Choice Award - Audrey Howat (8th grade, West Point).
Each student was recognized and presented a plaque with their winning bookmark and a monetary award at the April 5 Surprise City Council meeting.
Friends of the Surprise Libraries is a non-profit organization supported by local citizens who volunteer their time to promote local Libraries, literacy and reading programs.
