(KNZA)--A Troy seventh-grader is among the state’s top readers.
Faith Kitzman was among 17 top readers of the Read Kansas Read summer reading program and their families who joined Governor Sam Brownback and First Lady Mary Brownback for a lunch reception at Cedar Crest on Saturday.
The statewide summer reading program is a collaborative effort by the Governor’s Office, Kansas Book Festival, Kansas State Library and the Kansas State Department of Education to challenge Kansas children to read while they are not in school.
Students across Kansas spent the summer recording the time they spent reading on their reading logs, and top readers were chosen from each age group in the seven library regions.
Governor Sam Brownback says he’s proud of the student’s achievements.
