Recognizing Top LAL Participation

Thanks to generous donors, the Center for the Book at the NH State Library was able to award $50 to the libraries of the New Hampshire schools with the highest level of participation at each competition level in Letters About Literature 2009. Participation was calculated as the percentage of students at the school (in the grades elegible for that competition level) who entered letters (with the name of the school clearly written on the entry coupon) in the 2009 Letters About Literature competition. We used the 2007-2008 School Enrollments by Grade from the NH Department of Education website in our calculations.

Congratulations!

Level 1 - Marlborough School (96.67% participation)
Level 2 - Marlborough School (85.71% participation)
Level 3 - Stratford Public School (29.79% participation)
