Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program Begins Western Hills Elementary will be participating in the BOOK IT! program sponsored by Pizza Hut. BOOK IT! runs every school year from October through March. The teacher sets a reading goal for each child in the class. As soon as a child meets the monthly reading goal, the teacher recognizes him or her with a Reading Award Certificate. Parents, you can help by tracking the time your child spends reading at home. Check out the BOOK IT! website or visit with our campus Librarian to learn more.
