The Amaroo
School Reading Awards, named after Clea Salavert Wykes, were awarded yesterday
at a whole-school Assembly. Like in previous years, we were invited by Amaroo
School Principal, Gai Beecher, to present the Awards to the winners. In 2016, they
were: Jesse S. from Year 1, Jasmine P. from Year 5, Lubna S. and Caan F. from
Year 6, and Gabby W. from Year 10. Our thanks to Ms Beecher and also to Mel
Datsun, Executive Teacher at Amaroo School Library and the Library team.
We were also
given a very special gift from a talented and enthusiastic reader, Eliza C.
from Year 1. Eliza drew the picture at the top and wrote about how happy
reading books makes her. This is one of the nicest presents I’ve ever been
given, and I thank Eliza for her efforts, and for everything it means to her and
to us. Keep reading books, Eliza, and be happy!
