Welcome to Booker's Picks!

2016 Hillcrest Author's Week
Author's week is nearly here! Hillcrest Librarian Ms Booker has secured a fantastic lineup for Hillcrest students for the week of 25th-29th April. Each grade will have the opportunity to work with Toronto and Ontario based authors. Take a few minutes to look up the authors your child will meet next week.
There will also be various classes sharing their books with each other and the return of Hillcrest Reads... with Mr. Tilly's class debating this year's Silver Birch nominees in front of a voting audience.
Updates will be posted throughout the week so check in to learn more about what's going on!
