Darien High School freshman Lily Johnston and her sister, Anne, have thousands of reasons to be proud. As volunteers for Darien Book Aid Plan, the Johnstons worked recently with Royle Elementary School Library Media Specialist Sherrie Lanier to carry out a successful book drive. The Johnstons, who are alumnae of the elementary school, started the drive because of the low supply of children’s books available to meet demand. Anne is a 2015 DHS graduate. Since 1949, Darien Book Aid Plan has fostered literacy around the world through the free distribution of books.

He also explained how computer modeling is used to predict storms like the one that closed Darien Public Schools last Thursday — the first school closing of the winter. ___________
