Six Flags READ to SUCCEED

It's that time again... Paine Intermediate will be participating in the Six Flags Read to Succeed Six Hour Reading Club this year.  Here's what you need to know:
  • Your child must complete six hours, or 360 minutes of recreational reading.  Sorry, this does not include reading homework.  
  • Your child can read books, magazines, newspapers, or comic books.  Students can read silently, aloud, or with an adult-- you can read to your child, or your child can read to you.  
  • Use the reading log that is being sent home to record what your child reads and how long he/she reads.
  • DUE DATE for returning reading logs is February 21st.  
  • Late entries will NOT be accepted!!!
  • Tickets will be awarded to students by Mrs. McGough and mailed sometime in May to her.  She will then distributed them to the students.  
  • Each ticket is for one free admission only and is nontransferable.  
  • The ticket will be valid for admission on SELECT DATES ONLY during the 2014 season.  Valid dates will be printed on the tickets.  

Happy Reading...

Mrs. McGough
