Dear Cris,
The Florida Sunshine State Young Readers Award Program (SSYRA) is a statewide reading incentive program for students in grades 3-8. It is co-sponsored by the Florida Department of Education and the Florida Association of Media Educators (FAME). Every year the selection committee reads books that have been nominated by media specialists throughout the state. Each books is discussed and carefully considered, with the final selection made in the spring. Last year approximately 70,000 students read at least three of the nominated titles and participated in voting for their favorite book.
The book: The Kringle Chronicles: Catching Santa by Marc Franco has been nominated to the committee for consideration for 2014-2015 SSYRA List. I am requesting that the publishing companies send a copy of their nominated book to each member of the committee. I am attaching the addresses of the committee members. If you could please send them at your earliest convenience, I'd really appreciate it. We have many books to read, and I want to make sure we give your book careful consideration. Please contact me if you need any additional information.
Thank you again for all your assistance!
