During my elementary school years, I signed up for the summer reading program at the local library and enjoyed the books I read.  The Hamilton East Public Library in Fishers sponsored a summer reading program this year and these young people put me to shame.  How about these facts:  over 7,500 readers devouring more than 8.5 million pages of books.  That is an accomplishment.

The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board honored the top ten readers for the summer of 2015 in its Snapshots of Success series at the August 10th session.

Here a list of the winners names, along with the astonishing number of book pages logged by each one:
