EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this heartwarming print from 1990, the top readers at a Huddersfield school proudly display their hard-earned medals and certificates. These young achievers participated in a sponsored reading program that not only rewarded them with recognition but also provided over £1,200 worth of books for their classrooms. The challenge set before these enthusiastic children was to read seven books within a seven-week period to earn a certificate. For those who went above and beyond, eight books secured them a shiny silver medal, while ten books granted them the prestigious gold medal. Presenting these well-deserved accolades were Mr David Ramanauskas and head teacher Mr James Blaney from World Book Childcraft International. The joy radiating from the children's faces as they hold up their certificates is truly infectious. A total of 108 children received certificates for their dedication to reading, while an impressive 13 students proudly wore silver medals around their necks. The highest honor of earning the gold medal was achieved by an astounding 90 young readers. This snapshot captures not only the achievement and pride felt by these exceptional students but also highlights the importance of literacy and education in shaping young minds. It serves as a reminder that through fundraising efforts like this one, communities can come together to support learning initiatives that benefit future generations.
