More than 35,000 Kids Taking Fisher Cats Reading Challenge
Fungo and Slider, the Fisher Cats' mascots, are visiting schools and delivering bookmarks with a special challenge. Each student who reads at least five books outside their normal school curriculum will receive a pair of tickets to a Fisher Cats Reading Challenge Night during the 2013 season, courtesy of CCSNH. On the night of their game, they'll be honored during a pre-game parade highlighting their achievements.
These students are also representing their schools in a team competition. The school with the highest percentage of participation could win up to $3,000 from the Fisher Cats Foundation.
By the end of the school year, the challenge is expected to reach more than 55,000 students in over 150 schools throughout
