Team and School schedule
What if
every kid read the same book?
2006 book:
Bobby Baseball
by Robert Kimmel Smith
Consistent with Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne's emphasis on
reading, the NAIA's emphasis on community outreach at National
Championship Events, and the NAIA World Series emphasis to enrich
the community and promote education, Lewis-Clark State College has
proposed a program to reach this goal.
The ten participating teams of the Avista NAIA World
Series will visit at least one predetermined area elementary school.
The 300 baseball players will visit with predetermined students,
read, and autograph the book, and leave it with the student. The
schools' libraries are presented with autographed copes of the book.
Six area public schools' libraries received five copies per library
for community use. The book chosen for this year's World Series is,
Bobby Baseball, by Robert Kimmel Smith.
The basis of the program is to promote reading through
the use of role models. The Lewiston School District, The National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, and Lewis-Clark State
approved this year's selected book
The 2006 Avista
World Series Reading Program would like to thank the following
sponsors for their generous financial support: Lewiston Wal-Mart, the Lewis-Clark State
College Bookstore, and the Lewiston Tribune.
