Accelerated Readers








As a sponsor of the AR (reading program) at Whipple Ranch Elementary School we were more than thrilled when they asked us if we would have the students who were completing and excelling in AR to Hatch Toyota for a fun reward field trip.

In the below freezing temperature buses filled our car lot. It was definitely a great site to see so many children doing well in reading as this is one thing they will need the rest of their lives.

Popcorn and candy were provided by WME Theaters.
A representative from the Show Low Museum came and gave a presentation on how Show Low got it's name.

Hatch toyota had jumpers set up indoors. The kids really enjoyed this. We gave a card to each student as they came in and then drew cards later for gifts.

Each child left with a re-usable water bottle, gift bag, and a $500 off the purchase of a new Toyota for their parents.

It was a good break from the daily grind to do something fun for the children in our community.
