📚🍕 WOW! You guys are AMAZING! ❤️

We are absolutely blown away by the response to our J&J’s Pizza & Pages Reading Program! We’ve received so many requests from schools, teachers, libraries, and families that we’ve already rushed an order for 2,000 MORE reading cards! 🎉

Since we've been getting some common questions, we wanted to clear a few things up!

📖 Who can participate?
ANY child ages 4–13 is welcome! Families, schools, libraries, homeschoolers, and organizations can all join. The program is 100% FREE! Our only goal is to encourage more kids to pick up a book and make reading a lifelong habit. ❤️

🍕 Where can prizes be redeemed?
Currently, the program is available at our Lake Station, Hobart, and LaPorte J&J's Pizza Shack locations ONLY. Reading rewards must be redeemed at one of these three stores.

🏫 A little favor for our schools!
We've had librarians requesting cards for entire schools while teachers from those same schools are also reaching out for their individual classrooms. We LOVE the enthusiasm! We just kindly ask that schools coordinate their requests and send us one total card count per school. This will help us avoid duplicates and make sure we have enough cards to share with everyone!

📦 When and how can you get your cards?
Once the cards arrive, we'll make an announcement and do our best to arrange convenient pickup times that work for everyone. At this time, we're unable to mail cards individually due to the additional cost and time involved. We truly appreciate your understanding!

❤️ One last thing...

This is our very first time putting together a program like this, and we honestly never expected such an incredible response! There may be a few bumps along the way, but we'll do our best to work through them and make this a wonderful experience for everyone.

We're just as excited as you are! Thank you for embracing this little idea with such BIG enthusiasm.

Here's to more books, more young readers, and of course... MORE PIZZA! 📚🍕❤️

📚🍕 PSSST… SOMETHING NEW IS COMING TO J&J'S! 👀

What do BOOKS and PIZZA have in common? Well… we're about to make them a pretty awesome team! 😍

We're excited to introduce J&J's Pizza & Pages, a fun new reading rewards program for kids ages 4–13! 📖❤️

Our reading cards are officially at the printer and should be ready in about two weeks!

We believe in giving back to our community, encouraging young readers, and making learning a little more delicious! 🍕

🏫 Schools, teachers, libraries, homeschool groups, and youth organizations: We'd LOVE to get you involved! Send us a message if you'd like reading cards for your young readers.

Who knew turning pages could lead to PIZZA? 😉🍕

Stay tuned… the fun is almost ready to come out of the oven! ❤️
