The Bellwood-Antis High School English Department is celebrating Read Across America by holding separate theme days for each day of the week from March 2-6.  Day One is Readers’ Choice Day.

As  part of Reader’s Choice Day, Bellwood-Antis students and teachers were asked the question, “What’s your favorite book and why?” We received a variety of responses.  Students had their pictures taken and displayed throughout school with their answers, as well as on the BluePrint.
