The Huckleberry Hill School in Lynnfield was awarded a $5000 James Patterson PageTurner Award for our "Fit and Lit" program. This is one of two prizes awarded in New England and the only one that was given to a school.

When we saw that the criteria listed for the award were for an original, creative, and innovative approach to spreading the excitement of books and reading, we knew we had to apply.  We have been doing "Fit and Lit" (fitness and literature), a program encouraging reading and exercise, since the fall of 2000 and were excited to be invited to share it in a presentation at the 2005 MSLMA conference.
