Convoy Lions held an awards ceremony in May to award the third-grade classes at Crestview Elementary for working hard in the AR Program. In recognition of their hard work, the ROAR (Reinforcement Of Advanced Reading) pays them 5 cents per point. They must pass a test over the content of the book with a score of 80% or better.

Not pictured is Zeke Kuhn.
