It was wonderful! The kids were SO excited to earn their wings. This was a definite win and a great motivator to keep reading. Thank you for all the amazing things you create for our students!"
The Very Airy Flight Crew
Echoing the beloved Book-It program many of us remember from childhood, 'The Very Airy Flight Crew' presents a summer reading challenge that allows kids to earn their WINGS—literally. Upon registering, each child embarks on a mission to read books throughout the summer, a goal that can be achieved with or without the help of their parents. Achieving this goal earns them their wings and access to a special livestream via a provided link and passcode, celebrating their accomplishment.
