A Rosendale elementary school student is the winner of a national reading contest.   Rosendale Primary School principal John Hokenson says first grader, Lily Oldham, is the winner of the Scholastic Reading Captain Underpants Movie contest.  The contest was based on a book and movie about two students who hypnotize their principal, who in turn, becomes superhero Captain Underpants.  “They drew a picture of their principal as a superhero.  A lot of them were Supermanish, others were different types of superheroes like The Hulk,  and then they wrote a sentence on why their principal was a superhero,”   Hokenson told WFDL news.    The Scholastic Reading Club chose Oldham out of 10,000 entries from students across the country.    On May 20th the reading club is flying Hokensen and a guest and Lily and her parents to Los Angelas for the premier of the movie Captain Underpants starring Kevin Hart.
