Masons partner on books to bikes<\/p>\n
MADEIRA BEACH \u2014 Gulf Beaches Masonic Lodge has partnered with Seminole Elementary School on this school year\u2019s \u201cBikes For Books\u201d program.<\/p>\n
The program, which the lodge began in 2017, is designed to encourage students at local elementary schools to increase the number of teacher-approved books that they read during the school year.<\/p>\n
A boy and girl from each grade level (K-5) who read the most books during the year will win a new bicycle purchased by the Masonic Lodge.<\/p>\n
Gulf Beach Lodge delivered a sample bicycle and a sign to the school to be placed in a conspicuous place to help motivate the students in their quest.<\/p>\n
