Virginia Young Reader Program
Freedom Hill is participating in the Virginia Young Reader program this year.  This is a program where the Virginia Reading Teacher Association selects 10 books for each reading level and students are encouraged to read them throughout the year.  In March, the students then vote on their favorite book.  Students only need to read 4 of the 10 to be allowed to vote. For a listing of the books on each level visit http://www.vsra.org/VRC.html
