USC will also give away tickets to their lady basketball games as they recognize readers. These promotions emphasize a character trait. We will participate in Reading Heroes Part II, which emphasizes Health and Nutrition. Parents will keep a log (supplied by the school) of the number of pages that your child reads between December 14th and December 26th. All books read must be on the appropriate grade level. The form must be returned by January 5, 2010. Vouchers for a free ticket for the student and one free ticket for the parent (additional tickets are $3.00 at the gate) will be issued at school for the January 17, 2010, South Carolina vs. Auburn game at 3 p.m. So get ready to read over the holidays and enjoy a basketball game.
*Note: Be sure to send in your log on our first day back at school.
Reading Heroes Part III will focus on Literacy and Education. The reading logs will need to document the number of BOOKS read (not pages) between January 4th and January 15th. The forms need to be turned in to Mrs. Brown by January 19th. The game will be on February 14, 2010, when South Carolina plays Arkansas at 3 p.m. Happy Valentine's Day!
Winners will be recognized throughout both games.
HEALTH AND NUTRITION PRIZES: The HIGHEST readers from EACH GRADE K-5 will receive: certificates, health gift packs (athletic bags with bottled water, t-shirt, towel, pamphlet), autographed basketball and autographed Women's Basketball poster.
