Blue Ball Elementary is again embarking on a unique reading adventure this May. We are hoping to have the entire Blue Ball Community reading the same book at the same time. The book is entitled The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies.

We have started our BIG read with a kick-off assembly and book distribution. Each family and staff member of Blue Ball Elementary received a copy of the book, The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies as well as a bookmark with our reading schedule.  During ‘The BIG Read,’ students will have chance to answer daily trivia questions. Each morning, students will read the trivia question. Each time students enter the correct answer they will be entered to win a weekly prize. We will have a culminating assembly on May 25th when we finish the book.
