This year we will be participating in the district wide Apple Core reading program! All students will receive their Apple Core bookmark in the Library. APPLE CORE is a reading incentive program that gives students in kindergarten through 5th grade a chance to win a Kindle FIRE. We will also have raffles and other prizes for students who complete bookmarks!
Here’s how to join the fun and excitement of APPLE CORE:
1. Watch for a special APPLE bookmark to come home with your kindergartner – 5th grader(s).
2. Listen to your child read and/or read to your child every night.
3. Initial one fourth of an apple on the bookmark for every 15 minutes of reading
completed.
4. Have your child write the titles of their favorite books he/she has read on the back of the
bookmark.
5. Sign the completed bookmark after all 20 apples have been initialed (20 hours of
before or after school reading).
6. Have your child give the bookmark to his/her classroom teacher and receive a new
bookmark to continue with this reading program.
The more your child reads, the greater the chance to win a Kindle FIRE!
March 31, 2023 will be the last day to turn in bookmarks. Completed bookmarks
will be entered into a drawing for a Kindle FIRE. The drawing will take place April
14, 2023.
The elementary schools with the greatest number of before and after school
reading hours will receive a donation to go toward the school’s reading efforts.
Flyers and bookmarks will be sent home soon!
