On October 29th, with the assistance of students from Stout Middle School and members of the Edsel Ford High School (EFHS) Key Club, the Kiwanis Cub of Dearborn kicked off the Brick by Book: Building a School of Readers program at Snow Elementary School.

The elementary school second grade students learned about how the Brick by Book: Building a School of Readers program works and how they can earn bricks to build the school house as well as earn rewards for reading books.

Each student received a goodie bag with candy, school supplies and hand-decorated bookmarks. But most importantly, each student got to choose and take home a book.

The program brings together school staff, community volunteers and students from EFHS. Kiwanis volunteers and EFHS Key Club members will visit every month to read with students.

Brick by Book: Building a School of Readers reflects the Kiwanis Club of Dearborn’s commitment to improving the lives of children and supporting literacy.

The club continues to seek community partners to help provide children’s books, bookmarks, reading incentives, school supplies, gift cards, printing services and financial contributions for books and program materials.

The initiative is designed to encourage a love of reading and make reading a shared, rewarding experience across the school community.

Kiwanis Club of Dearborn and Snow Elementary Launch Brick by Book Literacy Program

Community volunteers and Edsel Ford High School students will help build a schoolwide celebration of reading

DEARBORN, Mich., October 23, 2026 — The Kiwanis Club of Dearborn and Snow Elementary School in Dearborn will launch Brick by Book: Building a School of Readers, a literacy initiative designed to encourage second-grade students to read, on Thursday, October 29th, 2026. The kickoff will introduce a hands-on program that recognizes students as they complete books and helps build a visible celebration of reading in the school.

Second-grade classes will take part and each time a student finishes a book, he or she will write their name and the book title on a paper brick and place it in a collection truck at the school office to collect their bricks. Each week, the principal will draw two names. Those students will add their bricks to a cardboard playhouse in the hallway and receive a free book and a small incentive, such as a pencil.

The program will bring together school staff, community volunteers and students from Edsel Ford High School (EFHS). Kiwanis volunteers plan to visit monthly to read with students, and EFHS students will partner with the program. Volunteers will wear construction gear, and a display representing a school will help give the brick-building theme a presence at the kickoff.

Brick by Book: Building a School of Readers reflects the Kiwanis Club of Dearborn’s commitment to improving the lives of children and supporting literacy. The club is seeking community partners to help provide children’s books, bookmarks, reading incentives, school supplies, gift cards, printing services and financial contributions for books and program materials.

The initiative is designed to encourage a love of reading and make reading a shared, rewarding experience across the school community.

Community members interested in supporting the initiative can contact the Kiwanis Club of Dearborn.

The Brick by Book: Building a School of Readers kick-off program will take place on Thursday, October 29th, at 9am. Snow Elementary School is located at 2000 Culver Avenue, Dearborn, MI.
