The Oshawa Generals grabbed Adam early in round two, with the third pick. Ty went fifth in round one to the London Knights. Yesterday he’d come for his friends, Tyler and Adam, and he’d been stoked when they were drafted.

Students across Manitoba are busily reading MYRCA-nominated titles right now.
An award ceremony in the fall welcomes hundreds of students to celebrate the winner and two honour books. The program is promoted across the province, and in April any student who has read at least 3 of the titles may vote for his or her favourite.

Today’s featured program is the Manitoba Young Readers’ Choice Award. Pajama Party would like to highlight those invaluable programs and people that are promoting reading among Canadian kids today.
