Lazer City Reading Program
Lazer City Reading Program
Mrs. Maskell is running a Read to Win program within her classroom offerred through Lazer City in Edmonton & Calgary.
How Read to Win Works
For each chapter or book a student reads, they will fill out entry sheets that they put into the Read to Win box in our classroom. Once a month from October to June, Mrs. Maskell will draw up to 5 sheets from the box and those students will receive a certificate that they can redeem online for 2 Free Games of Laser Tag!
This means the more they read, the more entries they get!
Students do not go with the school, you are able to take your child whenever you're available to.
