3B THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2015 Astoria student wins Oregon College Savings Plan account SALEM, Ore. — Fourteen Or- egon children now have a head start on saving for college, includ- ing Vivien Bizzell of Astoria, thanks to taking part in summer reading. Their names were randomly drawn as winners in this year’s superhe- ro-themed “Save for College, Save the Day!” summer reading cam- paign, sponsored by the Ore- gon College Savings Plan in part- nership with the Oregon State Library and Oregon Library Asso- ciation. The annual campaign is de- signed to help keep kids’ minds en- gaged over the summer. Overall, the Oregon College Savings Plan awarded $14,906: each of the 14 winners received a $529 Oregon College Savings Plan account, while the libraries where the winners enrolled received a to- tal of $7,500. The Astoria Public Library received $500 on behalf of Bizzell’s entry. “Studies show that reading year- round can increase a child’s aca- demic performance, and that will help them to be college ready,” Mi- chael Parker, executive director of the Oregon 529 Savings Network, said. According to the Oregon State Library, 206,425 youth from birth through age 18 signed up for this year’s summer reading pro- gram at public libraries through- out Oregon; collectively, they read 144,643 books. The read- ing campaign received 7,339 en- tries statewide.
