Baysox Announce 2019 Reading Program

<st1:personname w:st="on">BOWIE, <st1:personname w:st="on">Md. -  The Bowie Baysox announced the 24^th year of the Read & Hit a Home Run Reading Program this week, thanks in part to Educational Systems Federal Credit Union. 

The program, which began in 1996, reaches over 200 schools across the DMV region, impacting over 35,000 students a year. Those numbers include area homeschool co-ops, helping encourage and foster an excitement for literacy in local schools.
Registered schools will have the opportunity to participate in the program by reading four (4) books of the students' choice during the given time frame. Every student that completes the reading goal will receive two free tickets to a 2019 Baysox game. During the season, the team will host several designated Reading Nights (based on geographic location). At the stadium, all students will be recognized for their accomplishments during the game.
All reading specialists and homeschool teachers/directors are encouraged to register their school. Once registered, all students can participate in a jersey design contest, with the winner's choice being unveiled at a school assembly by Louie, the Baysox mascot.
