For the 2025 season, the GreenJackets, in partnership with each county's Board of Education, have worked together so all students grades K-8 (depending on your district) are already a part of this very successful program. Other schools across the CSRA are encouraged to participate as well!

3. Set Reading Requirements
- Auggie's Reading Program is a four-week program divided into four sections, each representing a "base" on the baseball diamond. Once students complete an assignment, they will advance to the next base! The goal is to hit a "home run" by the end of the designated time frame set by the Teacher, Librarians or Media Specialists.
- Teachers, Librarians, Media Specialists work with students to set requirements and goals. Goals can be set by the number of books, number of pages, number of hours spent reading, etc.
- Each base the student completes comes with a prize from one of the Auggie's Reading Program sponsors.
4. Track Student Progress
- Teachers will track the progress of their students. Parents are also encouraged to help track their child's progress.
5. Complete the Program

- Select one of two dates that is offered to your school district
- Select other seats for your family to attend the game and celebrate your child's accomplishment at a discounted ticket rate.
