The North Brunswick Nothing Bundt Cake store has a reading incentive program for students. While the reading tracker says it is to be completed within a month, the store noted that it can be done over a longer period of time.

Here's what you need to know:

• The program runs all year round.
• A student must show up with the printed tracker showing that they have completed 400 minutes of reading, to receive a free Bundt cake.

• The tracker file can be reprinted for kids to continue reading and keep winning (Bundtlets) !

If you would like a hard copy of the tracker, please contact your child's teacher.

The Middlesex County Sheriff's Office is holding a Safety Art Contest for 3rd-5th Grade students. They are requesting submissions of artwork for two coloring books: one on bike safety and one on personal safety. Artwork and submission form are due 2/23.

If your child is interested, please email Mrs. Kipnis for an entry form (jennifer.kipnis@sbschools.org)

This contest is for student artists in grades 3-5. For a hard copy of the packet and information, please email Mrs. Kipnis.
