Each year, Curtis Tigers participate in the Louisiana Young Reader’s Choice Award program sponsored by the State Library of Louisiana. Students are encouraged to read three or more of the nominated books to participate in a state-wide election to vote for their favorite. If students read all 15 of the nominated books, they are recognized by the State Library for their efforts. This year we had one student complete this amazing feat. Congratulations to Harrison Tucker!
