And the Winner is.....

This past Sunday, the regional winners of this year's Bruin prize in support of our 2009 Summer Reading Program were celebrated the Garden's Boston Museum. SEMLS joined with winners from both Boston and Metrowest regional readers as we were entertained by musician/storyteller Jackson Gillman before the award ceremony began. Rather than extend the ceremony any further we sent Blades to the penalty box and began handing out the goodies. Signed shirts, pucks, pennants, mini hockey sticks and of course the grand prize the Family Package. While every region had 4 winners, the Grand Prize winner came from the Southeast. GOOOOAAALLL!! Jenna Sylvia from the Middleboro Public Library was the envy of all as she accepted the Zamboni Ride package on behalf of her family.

We are so thankful for all of the wonderful gift-in-kind prizes that the Bruins offered to the State this year. While the activity of reading is the best gift that any kid can enjoy, it certainly doesn't hurt that we can partner with an association that also values, recognize (and can reward) literacy.
