Due to the unprecedented circumstances of this year, the awards were presented in the classroom.

"This is quite an accomplishment, particularly with this year's unique challenges! Learning to read and comprehend text is the foundation of a student's academic development and success," said Robertson. "Reading exercises our minds, builds our imagination, and deepens our understanding of one another and the world around us. We are so proud of our Wildcat readers and thankful for the support of their families."
