As a result of their students’ overwhelming participation in the Emma S. Clark Library’s Summer Reading program, Nassakeag Elementary School has been awarded the 2018 Emma Cup trophy.

 Each year the library challenges Three Village Central School District students to embrace a lifelong love for reading by staying active readers throughout the summer vacation. As an added incentive, students are encouraged to sign up for a summer reading challenge and log their participation. The winners of the friendly competition are awarded the coveted Emma Cup trophy each fall when the school year resumes. 

This year, Three Village students read close to 21,000 books as part of the competition, and Nassakeag had the highest percentage of students sign up for and complete the challenge, at 44 percent.
