"Read On Cool Kids!"
Your child will be bringing home a ROCK bookmark. There are reading tasks to complete. A new bookmark will come home every other month. When the bookmark is turned in they will receive a prize. If all four bookmarks are completed they will receive a ROCK pin and a book.
If at least 100 students turn in all 4 bookmarks, we will get to shave
