Pelion Middle Learning Commons
February/March
Blowfish Baseball Reading Challenge
There is a lot more to the month of May than testing and final exams. Once again, students from Lexington District One will participate in the Blowfish Reading Challenge. Here is what you need to know:
1. The program will run from May 1-May 28 for Pelion Middle School.
2. Students will track their reading progress on a reading log that features a baseball diamond. As each student reads a book, he/she advances to a base. Once a student reads four books, they've hit a home run!
3. Prizes include two complimentary tickets to the game plus a free hotdog and drink.
4. Middle school night will be July 20. This is the date you will attend!
5. Teachers who bring in a school ID, will receive complimentary tickets to the game.
