"During our celebration, Lyndon students from several grades read poems about books. One of our administrators, Ms. Tunney spoke and as the grand finale, BC was given a beautiful 'Thank You banner created by sixth-grade student Kevin Kiami," wrote Amy Sallen to Patch, Visual Arts Teacher and Library Team Supervisor for the Lyndon School. "We want to thank Christie Wentworth (who worked directly with the Lyndon to make this happen) and David Werda from the BC Bookstore. Students are very excited about the new books and we will get them on the shelves in September."
