Molly, Erin and Angela asked the students to try to remember their player number so they could root for them at the next Winter Olympics.

Along with the Presentation by the Pioneers and Hockey Player we left over 800 books at Crossroads School for each student, Kindergarten through 6th grade and 4 year old Pre-school along with several books for their Library. We also gave the school copies of the Power Up To Read books and teachers guide.
