Entry for November 29, 2006

My little reader. We went to a Read-A-Thon Safari last night at Brandons school. Their fund raiser this year was to read at least 500 minutes. Well of coarse Brandon isnt completely reading yet so I read to him. We would read 1-3 hours a day and we had to keep track of the reading for 10 days we read over 1240 minutes. Well because of that he was the Top Reader in his class. So he got special recognition.
He received: A godfather coupon for a free large two topping pizza, free drinks, free breadsticks, free dessert pizza. A free 2-topping pizza from Papa Johns, a free cone from dairy queen, 2 free cones from Sheridans, a gift card to Barnes and Noble, a free day pass to the community center, a free bowling game, a free skate night.
He also won a door prize which was a ten dollar gift certificate to build a bear, plus he got his picture taken for the paper. He was so excited. They also served us Cici's pizza (we only were allowed one piece) but several people brought side dishes or desserts.That part was all fun afterwards we were suppose to go to "A different country" and be read too. They had tents set up around the school. That was a total disaster. They had K-5th graders together. (Now come on) like they like the same stories in that big of an age range. And a few times the tent almost came down by all the up and down and in and out of the tent. So after about 20 minutes of this we got up and left. Get the prizes and then get out of there.
