SSYRA Registration Begins

SSYRA registration begins!

Registration for the Sunshine State Young Reader’s Award program starts today August 25th.  The program is co-sponsored by the Florida Department of Education’s Library Media Services and the Florida Association for Media in Education (FAME). Designed for students in grades three through eight, the program motivates students to read high quality, high interest contemporary literature. Participation in the program is free and students get to vote for their favorite book out of a list of 15 for their grade range (3-5, and 6-8).  All schools public and private can participate and homeschoolers can also become involved in the program by contacting their local school librarian.

 As in past years, the School Participation Form is located on the SSYRA Program website at http://myssyra.org/. To initially access the form, you must enter your school’s five digit zip code. During the completion of the form, you will generate your own password for use throughout the year. Please remember to print a copy of the form and to write down the password to retain for your records.

Throughout the year, please check the SSYRA Program site for updated information concerning voting procedures, curriculum activities, and promotional ideas.  

If you have any questions, please contact either Katrina Figgett at Katrina.Figgett@fldoe.org  or the co-chair Lorraine Stinson at stinsol@stjohns.k12.fl.us.
