Reading...Give It A Shot!

The concept of the program is quite simple. After each student in a class (Grades 4-6) reads a minimum of five books in one month’s time, their teacher may enter the class into a draw to receive complimentary tickets to an Edmonton Oilers hockey game, which have been donated by the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and local businesses.
