Three students at Lewisville Elementary won bicycles for reading books.  

Lewisville Elementary School teamed up with the Lewisville Masonic Lodge to give away the three bicycles through a program called “Bikes for Books.”

“Every student had an opportunity to win one of the bikes by just reading books,” said Gail DuBose, the school’s data manager. “The event began April 13. To participate, students needed to read the following: two fiction books, two nonfiction books, and one poetry book.

“Those who completed the challenge had their names placed in a drawing.  Students had to read grade/age appropriate books. Our media coordinator, Mrs. Rich and teachers assisted students in selecting appropriate books.”

On Wednesday, June 11, the “prize patrol” delivered the bikes by knocking on the classroom doors and calling out the students’ names.

“The look on their faces says it all,” DuBose said.
