Bell City, Missouri – The Lakeville Masonic Lodge sponsored a bicycle give-away for students in each grade from kindergarten through 6th as a reward for reading. 

While the Lakeville Masonic Lodge worked with the school to encourage children to read, each student demonstrated great efforts while working very hard to achieve his or her goal. 

Every time a child met a goal, his or her name was placed in a drawing for a bicycle.  One child out of each grade was presented with a bicycle for all their hard work.

Zach Hueckel, a 6th grade student, had over 700 accelerated reading points.  Way to go Zach!

Students were presented their bicycles at the Bell City Multipurpose Building by Lakeville Masonic Lodge members.

The photo above are (from left to right)  Maggie Stubenrauch - 2nd grade, Nate Stone - 5th grade, Zach Hueckel - 6th grade (738 points), Kennet Rampley - 4th grade, Austin Gammons - 3rd grade, Baylor Eftink - 1st grade, Jacob Asher - Kindergarten. (Baylor is in the white cardinals shirt and Jacob is in the red shirt on the left of Baylor in the front).

Congratulations to every student for reading.  We all know reading can be fun!
