Pennsylvania Young Readers' Choice Award

Pennsylvania Young Readers' Choice Award (PYRCA) is given each year for the favorite children's book in the Commonwealth. Students can join up to read three books from the lists. This year's theme at Masterman is Readers Make Thinkers. The school library has all the titles thanks to the generous contributors to DonorsChoose.
