During 2nd semester our students had the opportunity to submit book reviews for books  that were read outside of the classroom into a raffle. The book reviews will be used to make book guides and suggestions for future KS students. We had many great submissions, and below are some of the winners. Thanks for your help to everyone who entered and congratulations to the winners!
