'Book It' Readers:  The 'Book It' program will run October 1-March 31.  The 'Book It' program is in cooperation with Pizza Hut.  Every child that reads a minimum of 15 books per month will receive a 'FREE Personal Pan Pizza' certificate.  This certificate must be used during the following month or it will become invalid.
