CBC Radio Contest

In order to celebrate the joy of reading, CBC has joined with TD Children's Book Week to create a contest for elementary school students in Montreal and five other cities across Canada. The students had to produce a cheer in order to convince CBC Radio Book Club why they should come to their school and celebrate Book Week with them.

The Grade 5/6 students of Parkdale Elementary School had the opportunity to join the contest, where they worked very hard as a team to create such a wonderful submission. The students had an amazing time working together and recording the cheer in our on-site computer lab.

With great dedication and enthusiasm, the students' hard work led them to win the contest. The prize will be a taped session with children's book author Alma Fullerton in early November. Fullerton has recently been chosen for the TD Canadian Children's Literature Award for her book Libertad. CBC will be flying Fullerton to Montreal for an interactive recording with Parkdale's Grade 5/6 class. They will also be receiving forty copies of the book Libertad for the school. The recording will be broadcasted on CBC Radio's Home Run in Montreal, hosted by Bernard St. Laurent, during National Book Week.

Congratulations to the students in the grade 5/6 class and to Ms. Holly Kusiewicz for her hard work and dedication in this project.
