~COMMUNITY READERS: We invite anyone from the community to call the Jacobson office (444-4300) to set up a time to come read to the kids for a 15 minute period, any day the week of March 13-17th.

~TEACHER READERS: BK teachers are going to be going to the library after school to read to kids, and they will be on school busses reading to the kids. Boxes of books will be on each bus for kids to read the month of March.

~STUDENT READERS: If you would like a class of students to come read to your business, day care, hospital, Leinbach Center… please contact the Jacobson Office (444-4300) and we will send some student readers your way, with books to read to you.

~BOOK BOXES: Boxes of books will be dropped off at various businesses for children to read while their parents are shopping throughout the month of March.

~PENNIES FOR PATIENTS: All of BK School District will be participating in bringing coins to school the last week of March . NHS students will collect the coins. Details will be forthcoming in a letter home with students.

~DAILY DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) TIME will be done the month of March in all of the BK classrooms.

~READING INCENTIVES: As each student passes an RC book or for lower elementary after they read a book, they will receive a paper basketball to hang up with their book title and name on it, in the gym. Reading incentives will be given to readers in each grade level. The incentives are theater bucks from the Lyric Theater, passes for ice cream cones from the Belmond Drive In and books from Thrivent Financial with the help of Dirk van der Linden.

~READING AWARENESS LITERATURE: Flyers on the importance of reading will be passed out at various businesses in Belmond.

~MARCH MADNESS BRACKETS will be featured around BK School District. These brackets will provide some fun challenges to kids to read!!

~CHILDREN’S BOOK SWAP: A children’s book swap will be held with each grade level. Your children can bring as many good condition books as they wish and trade for that number of books.

~BOOK SWAP FOR ADULTS: A book swap for adults will be held during the Reading Time out Event (See Below). Bring any books you wish to trade to the Jacobson Office. We will be setting them on tables as you walk in. Take as many books as you bring!!
