Cataract Lodge #2 has proudly supported Bancroft Public School for many years in a variety of ways, including a reading incentive program known as Bikes for Books. This program is designed for fifth-grade students to encourage reading and help them discover the enjoyment and value of books.
The program is effective for several reasons. For young readers, it provides a powerful motivation: by reading more books, they can earn the chance to win a new bicycle. Throughout the year, teachers guide students in selecting books that are appropriate for their age and reading level. Educators have reported increased enthusiasm and motivation for reading, particularly among students who previously showed little interest.
Bikes for Books is a simple idea with lasting impact. It represents a partnership between Cataract Lodge and Bancroft School to encourage literacy, rewards effort, and strengthen community connections, and the power of reading. All through the promise of a bicycle and the transformative power of reading.
This year, the Brothers of Cataract Lodge purchased and assembled 47 bicycles and 25 scooters, which will be presented to the winning students during a fifth-grade assembly.
