Dedicated reader Caden Phillips read 850 books as a first-grader last year, once logging 25 in one day, and has the goal of reading 1,000. With 850 books read, the 7-year-old beat the old record of his brother Blake, now a fifth-grader.

Point of View
What’s the best way to spend a snow day?
Shovel your driveway and paths, check neighbors’ driveways and then grab all your closest little ones and find the biggest sledding hill. Snowmen also are a must. Snow days are a great time to catch up on missed shows and much-needed rest. I love snowdays, they haven’t changed one bit even as an adult, although I am sure not all working adults can say that, but I am happy I can. I was excited to see the snowmen and other snow sculptures throughout the Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas.
