HARDWICK - On May 14, Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU) recognized 35 students in grades four through eight who completed the Vermont Golden Dome Book Challenge. The event took place at the Hazen Union School library.
Students from Hardwick, Wolcott, and Woodbury Elementary Schools, Craftsbury Schools, and Hazen Union School gathered for pizza provided by the Craftsbury Genny, homemade cookies, an emoji-based puzzle, and a trivia competition. The OSSU librarians coordinated the celebration.
The Vermont Golden Dome Book Award is a children's choice award for middle grades. Each year, a committee of librarians and teachers selects 25 outstanding books as nominees. Students who read at least five titles from the list are eligible to vote for their favorite. The book with the most votes statewide wins the award.
Winning titles at each school included "Murray Out of Water" at Craftsbury, "All the Ways to Go" at Hardwick Elementary, a four-way tie at Hazen Union, and "The Sherlock Society" at Wolcott and Woodbury Elementary.
