Reading reaped rewards for local elementary students as the Prince George Free Press and the Prince George Cougars partnered on the Breakaway for Books reading program for the 2009/2010 season. Cougars visited elementary schools to discuss reading with young students.
The program, aimed at grades K-3, stressed the importance of reading and provided Cougars tickets to students who completed reading goals assigned by their teachers. All students who participated received coupons for individual size pizzas, courtesy of Panago. The Cougars spent nearly 500 hours in community appearances this season, including school visits to:
Austin Road Elementary
Carney Hill Preschool
Central Fort George School
College Heights Elementary
Foothills Elementary
Harwin Elementary
Malaspina Elementary
Peden Hill Elementary
Pinewood Elementary
Ron Brent Elementary
Sacred Heart School
Southridge Elementary
St Mary’s Catholic School
Thank you to all schools who participated in the program this year!
