Middle School Librarian Kay Daniel would like to
say thank you to Harry Potter. At 784 pages, Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows was a big contributor to the amazing total

highest total in the history of the Middle School reading competition.
Coach
Jennifer Numberger led the faculty readers with
10,049 pages, reading two popular novel series. If you need a recommendation
from the SC Junior Book Award list, check with Nancy Scott
in the Middle School office; she read every book on the list. Favorites
were Hitch by Jeanette Ingold, Princess Academy by Shannon
Hale and Cryptide Hunters by Roland Smith.
