  1. Novels - for Grades 5-8

On June 13, Heath Traditional Elementary school in North Delta British Columbia held the Chocolate Lily Award gala at which the winners of these awards were announced.  Thanks to Tanya Lloyd Kyi for announcing the award winners today at http://cwillbc.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/on-the-red-carpet-4/
