John Mayernik of Ametek hands a spoon to Michael Gannecilli, a first-grader at Panther Valley Elementary. Students at the school received shaved ice from the Kona Ice Truck on Monday as a reward for a year of reading. The event was provided by American Reading Company and their 100-Book Challenge, as well as Ametek, which has been sponsoring the program at Panther Valley for 15 years. CHRIS REBER/TIMES NEWS
