Dear Principal, Coordinator, and Participating Teachers,
Kid’s Fun Zone is excited to be involved in promoting the education of our children through our
Peak Reader Program. We would like to thank you for your support and participation in the
program.
Our goal is to encourage young students to read for fun and enjoyment. The program has been
designed to make it simple for your school to get involved. The following pages will provide you
and your staff with all of the instructions and materials you will need. Please read them
carefully. Our Program is different because our dates are flexible and can be modified to your
school’s convenience. The Program will run for 6 weeks, but the dates can be set in cooperation
with each school. Once your school chooses to participate in our program, we will set up a
meeting at everyone’s convenience to discuss specific dates.
We hope you will be as excited about this program as we are. We look forward to working with
you. If you have any questions or need additional information regarding the Peak Reader
Program, please call 315-732-ZONE (9663).
Sincerely,
Erin Schurr
Director of School Age Programs
Kid’s Fun Zone

submitting false names and accumulating tickets for themselves. We at Kid’s Fun Zone enjoy

the school coordinator, teachers, and parents to help us oversee the proper distribution of
tickets. Any unearned tickets must be returned to Kid’s Fun Zone.
