BOOK BUCK$ Newslaunch is Coming!
STARDATE: 3.10.08 - 3.14.08
This year, more than 37,000 Tri-City students will be propelled into
The Reading System. This not-so-distant space cluster consists of The Math Planet, The Geography Planet, The Language Planet, and The History Planet.
Each evening, local Reading Stars will soar through The Argus with their flight crews (family members) completing mission directives (assignments) to earn
BUCK$ (the payload) which they will spend on the Right Stuff (cool prizes) offered by local businesses.
Reading Pays off with BOOK BUCK$!
