Prizes – Kyler – Angie Foltz

  • A prize for every 4 hours of reading
  • 15 businesses already onboard 2500 prizes each
  • still looking for adult prizes

System for verification of prizes

  • This will depend on how we register and this hasn’t been decided.
  • Prizes will be given out weekly (last year it was every 2 weeks)
