Read a book and get a ticket to the "reading carnival"

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman

It was a pretty good deal for a school carnival.

Read a book and get a ticket. That's the admission price to last week's Ada Schools' annual reading carnival open to youth from Kindergarten to fifth grade. The Ada Academic Boosters put on the carnival on May 8.

Tickets were spent on sponge throw, soccer kick, guessing jar, corn hole and many other games. The goal: to encourage reading.
