The program, which is in its second year, focuses on 2nd grade students who attend Glen Avenue, Pemberton, Pinehurst, Prince Street, West Salisbury, and Wicomico Day School, and runs from the first of the New Year through March 25th. Students are challenged to read for twenty minutes every day.
Throughout the program, the SFD will check in on the students and read three age-appropriate books to each class. One book was read during the program kickoff, a second book will be read at the half way point, and the third book will be read during the recognition portion of the program. Teachers and staff at each school will monitor students’ progress throughout.
First, second, and third place prizes will be awarded to the students who log the most reading time at each school. Prizes include a turn as Honorary Fire Chief for the Day, backpacks with school supplies courtesy of Peninsula Orthopedics, and Barnes and Noble gift cards, courtesy of Salisbury Career Firefighters Local 4246. Each school will pick three winners by the March 25, 2016 end date.

Oh this is awesome that second graders will help the paid Farmin with some lessons in reading. So maybe next time they troll your blog we will be able to understand their grammar.
@ 411 am: Dude your a dumbass. This is a positive thing for our community and you want to twist it into a negative. I wish there had been a program to help you when you were younger. Or your parents had been there for you. Maybe you wouldn't be posting dumb stuff like this now.
This coming from the person writing Farmin. Are you referring to farmers or firemen?
