"NEVER GIVE UP"


Get Ready and Read!

   During 2008-2009, LVOC is initiating a Reading Campaign.  The purpose is to encourage reading throughout the year.  It works like this; when you finish reading a book, record the title on the back of the bookmark.  Or, you can record the reading time in minutes on your bookmark.  Each month report what you have recorded on the back of the bookmark to the office.  We will keep track of the progress.

   At the end of the year, prizes will be awarded to the top three in each category.  Encourage your family and friends to participate in the Campaign. 

   It will be fun to monitor the progress and set a record for the most books or minutes read that can be challenged in future years.

   Thanks for supporting what will hopefully become an annual Reading Campaign.  Good luck.
