Do you remember BOOK IT? I think I started the program in the third grade. For every certain number of books I read, I earned a free pizza. I ended up earning a LOT of free pizza. So much pizza that my teacher brought my mom in for a meeting and said I couldn’t actually be reading all of the books I was claiming.I proved her wrong by being able to discuss the plot-lines. Non-competitive in gym class, I was a competitive reader. And I loved pizza.
So imagine my joy upon hearing that BOOK IT is coming back!!!
I know I can participate in it (right?) but I am so happy to know that my nephews might get to. Books plus free pizza is a winning combination!
