Solomon Secondary Library wins $4750 Dollar General grant

We have received a Dollar General literacy grant of $4750.  The funding purpose is to support reluctant and below-grade level reader success.  Students, Mrs. Davidson, and the language arts teachers will work together to determine needs as well as preferred media, i.e. print books, Kindles, Playaways, audio mp3s, etc.  We are very excited about how this grant can help our students!!!
