Lee County Recognition

Out of almost 200 entries received at he downtown branch of the library, three students from Fort Myers Christian School received an honorable mention in the recent Lee County Library bookmark coloring contest that was themed “Come Alive with Books!” Special congratulations to 5th place Laura Gequelin, 8^th place Paige Arey, and 10^th place Hannah Upton, all of whom are in Mrs. Robin Couch’s fifth grade class. Mrs. Sherry Hill from the Lee County Library System presented the students with a ribbon and a certificate at a small ceremony in the elementary building this morning. All of the bookmarks that were entered by our third, fourth and fifth grade students will be on display at the downtown library, 2050 Central Avenue, Fort Myers, FL 33901, in the children’s department area from now until the end of November. The annual contest is open to all third, fourth and fifth grade students in Lee County. All of our qualifying students worked on their bookmarks during library class with Miss Jay J. Shrader.
