 Amanda DavisBush Elementary Learning Resource Specialist Amanda Davis accepts her award from Superintendent Dr. DeeAnn Powell for garnering 100 percent student participation in the Bluebonnet Reading Program.


The Pasadena ISD Office of Libraries and Instructional Materials awarded trophies to 31 campus librarians for achieving a high level of student participation in the Texas Bluebonnet Reading Program.

The Bluebonnet Program encourages students to read more, explore new books across various genres and identify their favorite books.

Through the statewide program 9,468 Pasadena ISD students in grades 3-6 voted for at least five of their favorite Bluebonnet titles using the district’s online voting platform. The votes were submitted to the Texas Library Association and added to the statewide count to determine the Texas Bluebonnet Award winning books.

Officials were proud of the district’s overall participation in the reading program with an increase of 58 percent over the number voting in 2013-2014.

This year, Libraries and Instructional Materials presented awards in three categories; gold, silver and bronze. Gold represents over 90 percent campus participation, Silver represents over 80 percent campus participation and Bronze represents over 70 percent campus participation.

The winning Bluebonnet titles this year are The Chicken Squad, by Doreen Cronin, first place; A Fine Dessert by Emily Jenkins, second place; and Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson, third place.

The winning campuses are:
