As April comes on the scene, the library is adding many new books along with 70 new Scholastic Reading Counts tests.  It is also the month that our boys and girls in the Academy will be looking forward to the Crown Election and Party.  All our 2nd-6th graders who have read at least 5 Crown Books and passed tests on them will be eligible to vote and enjoy the party.  They must have completed these by noon on the 24th.  We will announce the names of those eligible on the 25th at Chapel.  Then on the 26th  at about 1:00 we'll have the election and party.  It is a happy time. One of our children is striving to read all 20 Crown books (for upper grades) and win a medal.  If that should happen she will be awarded that in Chapel on the 25th.
