The 2019-2020 NFRC Award Winners
NFRC Awards
Every year the Niagara Frontier Reading Council presents two prestigious local awards: the Service to Reading Award and the Certificate of Appreciation Award.
The Certificate of Appreciation Award is given to individuals making significant contributions to NFRC activities and programs. The NFRC is pleased to announce three winners of this award: Paul Lyons, Amanda Defial, and Marcia Bugyi.
Several years ago, the NFRC began promoting the Little Free Library initiative throughout Western New York. Paul Lyons eagerly shared his talent with our organization by providing expert construction of at least ten Little Free Libraries, which have resulted in hundreds of students and adults having access to quality literature.
Both Amanda Defial and Marcia Bugyi have been instrumental in the success of the NFRC's What's New in Literature events. Amanda Defial focused on the planning, set-up, and facilitation of this twice-a-year event. Marcia Bugyi's presentations aimed at introducing the best of children's and young adult literature to teachers, sharing her vast knowledge of supporting children to become lifelong readers.
The Service to Reading Award is given to an outstanding person who has made a significant contribution to promoting literacy. This year's recipient is Patricia Oliphant. With over 30 years of classroom teaching, Patricia Oliphant is respected by her colleagues and is considered a leader in her school district. She is a past president of the Niagara Frontier Reading Council and has served on the Board for many years. Most importantly, “Mrs. O” is loved by her current and former students and their parents. She always sees the potential in each little one and inspires them to see themselves as readers and writers.
Please join the NFRC in celebrating our award recipients for their influential contributions to literacy!
