Spokane, Wash. - Sweetser Law Office, Communities in Schools, and local Title 1 elementary schools teamed up to promote literacy in the Inland Northwest as part of the Spokane Indians Reading Challenge. This year’s participating schools, Broadway Elementary and McDonald Elementary, received a visit from OTTO the Mascot and Spokane Indians staff to help kick off the program with fun-filled assemblies in March.

The Reading Challenge encourages and empowers local students to learn through reading as they track their reading minutes and earn prizes from the Spokane Indians – including tickets to a game! Prizes are associated with the number of minutes read and these prize levels correlate with the bases of a baseball field.

Reading Program Prizes

1st Base (180 Minutes): Bookmark

2nd Base (360 Minutes): Pencil & OTTO Baseball Card

3rd Base (540 Minutes): Book

Home Run (720 Minutes): Two Tickets to an Indians Game!

In addition to the prizes listed above, Broadway Elementary School's fourth grade class earned a pizza party with OTTO for accumulating the most minutes in the 2023 Reading Challenge. It's all thanks to Sweetser Law Office and our supporting sponsors Mallory Paint Store and nomnom!
