Students at Warsaw Christian School enjoyed a visit from the TinCaps organization and its mascot, Johnny, which is sponsoring a reading program to encourage students to improve reading skills.

Students who complete the program will earn a surprise gift and a ticket to a Tin Caps baseball game in Fort Wayne with a free grandstand meal. To get a great boost in points needed to complete their reading goals, the students participated in a day of reading called “Read the Most from Coast to Coast.”

The contest, sponsored by Renaissance Learning, encouraged students across America to beat last year’s record of the number of quizzes passed on books they had read in the accelerated reading program. The record was topped with 4,987,949 quizzes passed.
