Grades 3rd- 4th- 5th- 6th
November 20, 2020 through May 14, 2021
Drawing entry deadline is 5:00 PM Friday May 14, 2021
The Okemos Masonic Lodge is again hosting the Bikes For Books Program for the 2020-2021 school year elementary age students, grades 3-6 - throughout Okemos and Haslett. Children participate in the program by reading grade / reading level appropriate books, each time they read a book they log it onto a Bikes for Books entry form. A new form may be completed & submitted for every seven books read. Parents endorse the forms. Completed forms can be returned to teachers and librarians and go into the drawing. In the spring winners’ are drawn by school from the forms submitted. The more they read, the better their chances of earning a bike and safety helmet. Last year, seven elementary schools participated, and 31 bikes and helmets were awarded. This program has successfully established a love for reading early in life and put a gleam of excitement and happiness into kids’ eyes. That’s a pretty good thing to see.
This program continues to be very successful around the country, as well as locally through a continued partnership between the Okemos Masonic lodge and;
- Okemos & Haslett schools
- Okemos & Haslett Libraries
- Okemos Meijer
- Charitable Foundation of the Grand Lodge of Michigan
