Six Flags Reading Program
We are currently running our Six Flags reading program. Students who complete a minimum of six hours of recreational reading will earn a free ticket to Six Flags. Homework and class assignments do not count so students must read six hours above and beyond what is required by their teacher. Continue reading every night and record the minutes spent reading on the Six Flags reading log form that was sent home. Register your child for the program at sixflags.com/books.
New this year - Six Flags is using eReading logs so parents will need to register your child at sixflags.com/books using the special class code provided to you on the log to indicate your child's class. All reading minutes will need to be submitted to the online portal no later than Wednesday, April 1st. Tickets will be distributed in May. Happy Reading!
