BOOK BUCK$ NewsCruise Launches Soon!
CRUISE DATES: May 18-22, 2009
This year, more than 12,000 local students will be on board to explore
The News World. The unique itinerary for this voyage includes exotic newspaper ports of call, including Hometown Harbor, Sporta, Cape Classified, Comics Cove, Showbiz Bay, and more.
Each evening, students will sail through
their local paper with their Cruise Directors and Shipmates (family members) completing challenging assignments to earn
BUCK$ which they will spend on Cool Stuff offered by local businesses.
Reading Pays off with BOOK BUCK$!
