Another year in the BOOKS!

The 2023-2024 school year was another good one for Moline, Bettendorf, Pleasant Valley and North Scott first graders.  For the past 26 years, Ascentra has sponsored a reading challenge for local schools that encourages students to read 10 books in one month.  If completed, the students are rewarded with a pizza party where they are presented with a certificate and stuffed animal.

This school year, 1,347 students completed the challenge and nearly 500 pizzas were consumed!
