Annually, our PNW District of Kiwanis Clubs participate in selling raffle tickets for a chance to win THE MUSTANG sportscar to financially support this important program. Financial donations support the Kiwanis Fellowship Cancer Program which impacts oncology education and future cancer treatment throughout the U.S. The KDCCP entity raises funds to provide fellowships for pediatric physicians interested in specializing in cancer or hematology (blood disorders) to further their research and treatment on childhood cancer.

John shared new research and current developments within the specialties of pediatric cancer and pediatric hematology, and how our Kiwanis Clubs are involved with this impactful program at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. John Brookens, Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program (KDCCP)- President was our special guest speaker.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me purchase books that make the library at Markham a place where students see their interests reflected. I can’t keep the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books on the shelf and this title is no exception.

“Escape this Book” by Bill Doyle is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book. The kids love her, and there are three in the series so far.ģ. Olga is a charming combination of independent, curious and smart-making her the coolest scientist around. It’s vibrant illustrations and word bubbles makes it attractive to fans of graphic novels. “Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere” by Elise Gravel is quirky and jam-packed with fun. Students are drawn to these illustrated biographies.Ģ. With over 150 titles, the “Who Was” series tells the incredible stories of trailblazers, legends, innovators and creators.

“Who Is Oprah Winfrey” by Barbara Kramer is part of the “Who Was” series. Looking closer at the titles above will give you a sense of what’s popular:ġ.

You may wonder what students are reading these days. When I select books for the collection, I choose titles that students recommend. Purchased with a contribution from the Kiwanis Club. These books have in common? They represent just three of the many books
