Athens' very own professional hockey team, the Athens Rock Lobsters, are passionate about encouraging kids to read. They are offering a free ticket to one of their hockey games for every student who reads 1,000 minutes between now and December 12. The ticket will be dispersed after Christmas, and the game will be for a home game sometime in February or March.
Kindergarten and First Grade: You have received paper reading logs. Fill these out each time you read, and turn it in if you need a new one. We will keep all of the logs that are turned in and will submit your name to the Rock Lobsters once you reach 1,000 minutes.
Second through Fifth Grades: Students who have 35 AR points by December 12 will have their name submitted to the Rock Lobsters for a free ticket.
We hope you have a fantastic time reading and earning your free ticket to a hockey game!
As the weather cools and more students wear jackets to school, please remember to put your child's name in everything they bring to school. Hoodies, jackets, coats, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. often get misplaced in the building. The only way we can get it to your child is if their name is on it. Otherwise we send it to the lost and found, which as you can see is overflowing and overwhelming to search through. Thanks for your help in this!
