BOOK BOOGIE!
Reading rewards project. We select one Kosciusko elementary school each year. We partner with them to track the recreational reading of all grades (K-5th grade). Monthly awards are provided to two students from each grade and one teacher/staff (they lead by example!). At the end of year, during the awards program, a grand prize will be given out to the top two reading students and one teacher.
Additional funders for the Book Boogie program were:
- Teacher's Credit Union
- Kosciusko Endowment Youth Services (KEYS); KEYS is the youth philanthropy program of the Kosciusko County Community Foundation

OH THE PLACES WE WILL GO!
Interactive outdoor museum to raise awareness of literacy and art.
Benches that look like books will be artfully depicted and placed around the Kosciusko County community. The "Oh the Places We Will Go" project is the perfect trifecta: community, art, and promotion of reading!Reading takes the mind soaring over plains, valleys and many places. And the art/book benches will take people places all over our community to discover them!
Interested in sponsoring a bench? Yeah! Contact us! Come see a sample bench at the Operation Read Car Rally for Reading fundraiser at the Warsaw Staples parking lot on Saturday June 10. Once all the benches are finished there will be a massive county-wide scavenger hunt to find them all!!
