FIREFLIES READING PROGRAM
The Fireflies Reading Program is sponsored by Prisma Health Children's Hospital. Just record all books read on the log that was sent home and return it to the school.Students earn a surprise gift along with a ticket to a Fireflies game with a free hot dog, chips and drink.
The ending date for the program is February 27th. The program is divided into 4 segments representing the bases on a baseball field. As each segment is completed, the student will advance to the next "base". The goal is to "hit a home run".
After each segment, a parent's signature is needed. When a student completes their reading goal, they will receive an order form to redeem for a free Fireflies ticket. Additional tickets may be ordered at a reduced rate. The game date will be Sunday, April 26, 2020 at 2:05pm.
