Thank you to all the selection committee chairs and for all the committee members for your work on the Nutmeg Book Award!
Selection Co-Chairs Elementary (grades 2-3): Allison Murphy and Michele Kaminski
Selection Co-Chairs Intermediate (grades 4-6): Elizabeth McKay and Kristen Finnegan
Selection Co-Chairs Middle School (grades 7-8): Bailey Berardino and Kendra Wallace
Selection Co-Chairs High School (grades 9-12): Cathy Andronik and Marissa Bucci
Steering Committee Chair: Pamela Dear
We also want to thank you, all the librarians and teachers of Connecticut, for promoting the book award and sharing the lists and titles with your students.
The Steering Committee met tonight and looked at all the feedback on the voting submission forms.
Based on your comments and our discussion, we will be making the following change starting with the 2021 Nominees:
- The breakdown of the grades for each award will remain the same: Elementary 2-3, Intermediate 4-6, Middle School 7-8, and High School 9-12.
- When votes are collected next April, ALL STUDENTS MAY VOTE - and have their votes counted - FOR ANY LEVEL of the award.
- It will be up to the teacher or librarian to promote the appropriate level for their readers. So, if a 4th grader would like to vote for the Elementary award or if a 6th grader wants to vote for the Middle School award, that will be acceptable and counted.
