Hell Pizza Reading Challenge

The Hell Pizza Wheel reading promotion is back for another year. Children can come and get a pizza wheel from our library any time (or from any of the Christchurch City Libraries branches) from next week. Here is how it works:

1. Read 7 books to get a free kids pizza from Hell Pizza.

2. For every book your child reads either a parent or teacher needs to sign a segment of the pizza wheel.

3. When your child has 7 signatures on their pizza wheel they bring it to the library and I click it with the star hole punch and stamp it. They can then take this to any Hell Pizza branch to redeem their free pizza.

Children can complete as many pizza wheels as they like between now and 31 January 2022. They can only redeem one pizza per visit (if you have several children with completed pizza wheels to redeem this is fine).

If you have any questions about this please come and see me in the library or email me - zac.mccallum@halswell.school.nz
