HOME SCHOOL GROUPS

“Hat Trick for Reading” Program - 2009

The Gwinnett Gladiators “Hat Trick for Reading” Program is designed to help stimulate interest in reading among Elementary School aged children (grades K-5) in Fulton, Forsyth, and Hall Counties, as well as surrounding areas. This program will be open to Public School, Private School, and Home School Groups.

Each participating student will be given a Gladiators bookmark and asked to read at least three books during a specified time period (usually three to four weeks.) It will be up to the Media Specialist, Teacher, or School Administration to determine appropriate reading materials. After students complete their reading, they will be required to submit to the teacher “proof” they read their book (i.e. AR test, essay, report, etc.). As books are read, the teacher verifies by initialing a designated space on each bookmark. The Gladiators will also provide your students with a letter to take home so that your Parents can become familiar with the Program.

After the program is completed, each school will provide the Gladiators with a number of students who “scored a Reading Hat Trick.” The Gladiators will then provide the appropriate amount of ticket vouchers to the School for distribution to these students. Students will receive a voucher for two (2) complimentary End Zone seats to the Gladiators game vs. Florida on Saturday, November 7th @ 7:05 pm. The voucher will also allow the purchase of up to (4) additional End Zone seats for only $6 each. An End Zone seat has a regular gate price of $13.

The Gladiators will also provide the following to schools participating in the Hat Trick for Reading Program:

    • Preparation and distribution of information about the Hat Trick for Reading Program, including support materials, dates of the program and bookmarks to all participating schools
    • Random drawing for one of the participating students to drop the Ceremonial Opening Puck.
    • Recognition of participating schools on Hat Trick for Reading Night through public address announcements
    • Promotion of program via public address announcements, commercials during play-by-play broadcasts, the team’s e-newsletter, Gladiators web site calendar of events, the game program and news releases
    • Game tickets are subject to availability.
