Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars Program

The Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars program is underway at Hagood! We'd love for all our students to complete their reading logs so they can earn a FREE ticket to a Greenville Drive baseball game. They have until February 23, to read just 5 books. Students are encouraged to keep their reading logs at school or in a reading folder, so they don't lose them. Their teacher will turn their completed logs in to Mrs. Tolley in the media center. We'd like all students to participate in the reading portion of the program regardless of if they can go to the game (this is not a school field trip - parents must take their kids to the game). More information about the game and how to redeem your voucher for a FREE ticket will be sent out closer to the game day in April.

Contact Mrs. Tolley if you have questions.

How to be a Reading Allstar:

Read 5 books and complete the reading log
Have your parent redeem the voucher for a FREE ticket
Go to the game with your family on April 28, get a free shirt, parade around the field, get a FREE book, and have lots of fun!!!
~ you must be present at the game to receive the free shirt and book
