You mean I could read books, get star stickers on my scratchy holographic-looking shirt pin and when I filled the pin up, I could get a free mini pizza from Pizza Hut? The one that had an arcade inside with video games?
But regardless, it was a program that motivated kids and rewarded them with delicious pizza and made them not only excited, but PROUD to be a reader. I love literacy promotion however you can manage it, even if that means bribing kids with pizza. Bring it.
So it turns out Chipotle has their own program now and if you're a teacher or a librarian or a student or a principal or a parent of a student in K-5, you should totally get behind this. I love books and I love Chipotle and my kids will actually eat there, so obviously I can get behind a program like this!
Maybe this program gave me an excuse to take a trip down memory lane. (I bet I still have that pin if I look hard enough.) And to think I will have a kindergartner that will actually, finally be of age to participate in such programs makes me super stoked.
And Chipotle burritos are totally better than pizza, right?
*I was not paid to advertise this. I just got an email about it and will totally be bringing this program up to Benjamin's future elementary school and wanted to share. Jury is still out if I'm planning to take part in the PTA. Any PTA parents out there? As a teacher... it's usually a no-go...

I'm a PTA mom! (also, pain in the ass mom), but yes! It's the best! I love it!:)
I used to do the summer reading competitions, etc. that was my jam.
I loved Book It!! Wow, blast from the past. And chipotle is WAY better than Pizza Hut, it's up there on the list of things I miss about living in the US (though there is a Chipotle in London). Will totally get behind this when we move back. Will be even better when finn is reading on his own and I'm not wanting to rip my eyeballs out helping him sound out words.
