Carnation Students can also join the world's largest Online Book Club by logging on to:

kwr.connect.net - This site will allow kids to discuss literature, ask questions, and generally reflect on books that have had an impact on them. Kids from all over the world can vote for their favorite books and meet some famous authors online.

Last year's winners were City of Ember (Sasquatch) and Tale of Despereaux (YRC). More information
is available at www.wlma.org. Simply select the reading tab and then awards.
