Students at Jackson Main Elementary School in Hempstead were rewarded with certificates of completion and a pizza party courtesy of Power to Learn. This event followed the students' completion of the Knicks Read to Achieve @powertolearn.com program, an exciting literacy program in partnership with the New York Knicks designed to help young people develop a life long love of reading.

Teachers, students and members of the school Administration were joined by NY State Senator Kemp Hannon, who helped congratulate the students with a certificate ceremony with a pep-rally inspired theme. Afterwards, the students and 5th grade band members presented the adults with a Rap called "Read with It, Rock with It" and later challenged the teachers to a basketball tournament.
