Kansas City, KS \u2014 In the age of social media, reading books feels like a past time and it seems that many have gone away from it. Well for the Kansas City Monarchs, that is exactly what they are bringing back with \u2018Monty\u2019s All-Star Reading Program.\u2019<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a summer reading program that gives the opportunity for students to read five books, track their progress, and redeem their bookmark at the box office for a complimentary ticket to a game! The Monarchs will supply you with an official reading program bookmark which will be used to track your progress.<\/p>\n
Students who complete the program, will be honored at a pregame parade! There will be three separate parade days which will take place on September 4th, 5th, and 6th.<\/p>\n
Monarchs Account Executive, Brionna Frans says, \u201cI\u2019m excited, i\u2019m glad we are working to get out there more (into) the community. Im excited to see kids get out here and show off their hard work by doing that pregame parade. Im just super excited in general.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rather than turning in a sheet to a teacher at the start of the year, this is an opportunity for students to be celebrated for this achievement and there is nothing better than by spending it with a night at Legends Field.<\/p>\n
For a parent, you might be thinking, \u201cIs my kid eligible and do they have to apart of a certain school?\u201d Brionna mentions, \u201c(It\u2019s for) public, private, (and) public libraries. Literally any kid that wants to get involved, we would love to have them.\u201d<\/p>\n
