The Golden Eagles will be hosting the Saratoga Phillies on June 17th at 11:00 AM in order to allow student to come to the game as an incentive for the Reading Program.. This Reading Program Game is free to the students, teachers and chaperones.

 The idea is to have the classroom teachers setting goals and  tracking the number of books/minutes their students read above and beyond their normal class room assignments during the month of May. In June a player from the Golden Eagles would come to the school and acknowledge the students that participated and announce the name of the student that read the most in each class during an assemble.

             At regular home games, the Golden Eagles players are announced and escort little league players onto the field. On June 17^th , as the Golden Eagles players are announced, they will escort the students that read the most in the class. As the member of their class is announced, each class would stand up and be recognized.

Hopefully this program would spring board the students into doing more reading over the summer and create a habit that will continue.

Consider allowing the elementary/middle school classes the opportunity to participate in the reading program and to come to the game if it does not interfere with testing. Our only request is to please give us numbers from the school to ensure we have enough staff for the game.

             If you have any questions, please contact the Golden Eagles at info@glensfallsgoldeneagles.com. If there is any way the Golden Eagles may be able to help the school, please send us your ideas. The Golden Eagles want to be a strong community neighbor and to be involved with the schools.
