Citrus elementary students participate in Battle of the Books

Meredith Wilson, media specialist at Citrus Elementary, worked with a six-member team of students to compete in the inaugural district Battle of the Books pilot program for elementary schools. These six students read all 15 titles from the Sunshine State Young Reader’s Award list and were able to pass a test in order to earn a place on the team. Proudly displaying their certificates of participation in the program are: Julia Bernstein, left, (3rd grade), Sydney Brown (4th grade), Kaylee Salvatore (3rd grade), Madelyn Wilson (3rd grade), Tina Tilak (5th grade) and Emma Zahir (4th grade).
