Reminder: Tomorrow is is the last day to get a book buddy! Rodgers Elementary has launched a Reading for Education program to help our school raise money. A lanyard explaining how the program works has been sent home with your student. Parents, please read over the information describing how you can participate. Your student will earn a book buddy participation prize when they return the filled-out lanyard to school, and they can earn more great prizes when your family and friends help our school raise money. So don't forget to send the filled-out lanyard back to school, and thanks for your support. We are hopeful that all students will participate and earn their book buddy prizes to read with as we kick off Read Across America Week this week.
