2017 Literacy Award Winner

The WSP/Mendota Heights Rotary Club 2017 Literacy Award Winner was presented with her award at last week's meeting.  She is Candy Whelan, a 2nd grade teacher at Mendota Elementary.  She has been teaching for 35 years and is well-known for her innovative ideas and creative solutions to get children interested in reading.  Her SNIB (Stick Nose In Book) program is particularly effective!  Congratulations to Candy - she is well-deserving of this recognition!
