Want to get rewarded for reading? Sign your class up for Kazoo's Reading Program and join the Blue Wahoos in promoting literacy across the Panhandle!

How it works:

1. Schedule your school's reading program visit with Kazoo!

2. Pick your school's Reading Celebration date

3. Students track their reading on a worksheet, advancing one base on a baseball field every time they finish a book

4. After a student reads four books, they turn in their bookmark to their teacher in exchange for a free ticket to a Blue Wahoos game on their Reading Celebration date

5. Students who attend their school's Reading Celebration can participate in a pre-game on-field parade!

Best of all, the Reading Program is completely FREE to participate in! Want to learn more? Contact Emily Mann ([email protected]) and we'll get your class involved!

On your school’s Reading Celebration date, each student who completes Kazoo’s reading program will receive the following benefits:

  • A free Blue Wahoos game ticket
  • Opportunity to participate in our Reading Parade
  • Opportunity to participate in post-game kids run the bases and outfield toss

Celebration Game Instructions

  1. Find your school’s Celebration Game date below.
  2. Head to the Box Office at Blue Wahoos Stadium, and present your completed bookmark for your free ticket. Parents will also be able to purchase tickets at this time. Make sure to tell the attendant your school name as well!
  3. Head to the center field entrance by 3:15 PM and look for the sign with your school’s name on it!
