Yass Lions, parents and teachers celebrated with the winners of this year's Yass Lions Club Literacy Program on Thursday August 21. Dr Stephanie Owen-Reeder, a published children's author, came to Yass last March to run workshops for 100 students from Years 5 and 6 who came from Berinba, Bowning, Mt Carmel, Rye Park and Yass Public Schools. Stephanie explained to the students where to get ideas from, such as historical photographs and paintings and from speaking to older members of their family and the community. She even included special links to Yass during her sessions.
