Bikes for Books Program is BACK!!

The Okemos Masonic Lodge through the Charitable Foundation of the Grand Lodge of Michigan is hosting the Bikes for Books program in partnership with the Okemos & Haslett elementary schools once again this year. In the spring, we will be presenting students whom names are drawn from the submitted forms a brand new bike and helmet.

Last year five Haslett / Okemos Elementary schools participated with 131 Third & Fourth grade Okemos & Haslett students reading a total of 917 Books. The Okemos Masonic Lodge presented during the week of June 5, 2018 a new Bicycle & Helmet to eleven individual winners. Two winners were chosen from Ralya Elementary!!

This program was very successful last year and has been very successful around the country. The program asks Okemos & Haslet Students Grades 3, 4, 5 & 6 to read seven, grade appropriate books in a sixth month period. New this year: we have expanded to 3rd - 6th grade students!
