Community Favorite Award

This year Share the Nachas Day coincided with the 60th day of school. As part of our celebration, we connected our 60th

day activity with our exploration of community through the lens of the South Campus Community Library. One of the many activities that we did this day was to explain our journey with our grandparents and special guests. We also challenged them to add their favorite children’s book title to a running list, with a goal of collecting 60 unique book titles. To our amazement we collected over 60 titles:Dr SeussThe LoraxYertle the TurtleThe Cat in the HatOh, The Places You’ll Go!The Foot Book

After deciding that we were going to order these books for our library, we wanted to somehow honor them and give them special meaning. After learning about different types of awards books, the children in Gan Rimonim wanted to create a “Community Favorite Award” for the books from Share the Nachas Day. Each of the children were given a small piece of paper to design an award. The only guideline for their designs was that it needed to say, “Community Favorite” somewhere on the design. After our class voted to narrow it down to their favorite 5 designs, we asked for all the Kindergarten students to vote on their favorite. You can tell which books in our South Campus Community Library are truly “Community Favorites” because the seal adorns the books telling you so.
