READERS AND LEADERS: Toby Marx, Marshall Weyer, Melissa Peltier, Breann Pogh, and Derek Allen are a representative group of elementary school readers selected by Whitehall Elementary/Middle School Librarian Linda Blomquist to illustrate the group of readers who participated in the World Book Partners in Excellence Reading Program. About 120 elementary school students participated in the program, which helped the school purchase World Book Encyclopedias and support materials at half price. The students received certificates of achievement from World Book for their reading efforts, and the five students here each read at least ten books and were reading medal and poster award winners as well.
