More than 2,000 adults and children participated in the event at the school attended by both Boynton Beach and Delray Beach children. The free handout of books started last year with Grade 3 and was so successful, according to Principal Betty Duffey, that the PTA decided to expand the program to include all grades this year.

"It was a good day until we started running out of prizes," Mrs. Bauer said, as she ordered that the extra lollipops be used for prizes.

When Staci was named princess of the mall she walked quietly to take the 2-foot trophy and a blue robe was draped around her shoulders.

People passed the stage with huge packages. The judges, their views blocked by grimacing mothers, worked their score sheets. Staci faced the photographers.
