I just finished issuing certificates for Lefty’s Reading Challenge and boy has it been a challenge for me. Students had the opportunity to read from the library for the month of November and win a prize from the Speedway of:

• A certificate of completion
• One (1) complimentary ticket for a parent or guardian to the CampingWorld.com 300 on Saturday, Oct. 9
• One (1) complimentary membership to Lefty’s Kids Club that gets kids 12 and under free to NASCAR Qualifying Day on Friday, Oct. 8 and the CampingWorld.com 300 on Saturday, Oct. 9
• A complimentary CPKids meal at participating California Pizza Kitchens

Not as many students completed as I had hoped but it seems to have been a good incentive for those that did. It also took quite a bit of work to track but it has been worth it.
