Voting Draw Winners Receive Free Books!

Each year, we do a random draw from all of the submission of votes that we receive. We do one early bird draw from those submissions that are received before March 15th and two more draws at the closure of voting.

Congratulations to the winner of our early bird voting draw, École St. Pius X in Regina, and the two winners of our other voting draws Bishop Klein School in Saskatoon and Davidson School in Davidson! Each school will receive a selection of books to add to their libraries. We wish we had books to send to everyone who participates in The Willows!
