And we're off...Dependable Cleaners announces its 1st Winner of Read to Ride 2016!

(Quincy, Mass.) Dependable Cleaners is pleased to announce that Hingham student Alyssa Chang has won a new bike through its annual Read to Ride program. The program is designed to encourage students to keep up with their reading during the summer months. Students from ages 6-15 will have the chance to win a bike or an exciting prize for every book they read. Since the program’s inception in 1999, more than 72,000 books have been read.

Alyssa, age 11, loves to read. One of Alyssa’s favorite book series is the Harry Potter series! As a 6th grader moving on to 7th grade at Hingham Middle School, Alyssa is excited to expand on her reading skills!
