Go Nuts for Reading Program

Nutzy from the Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball team came to Byrd to kick off the Go Nuts for Reading Program!  Each student received a bookmark that has eight (8) helmets on the front. Students will color in a helmet for every book they read!  Once the student colors in all eight (8) helmets, a parent, guardian or teacher will sign the bookmark.  The student will submit the bookmark to their teacher no later than Friday, March 25th.  All students who turn in a completed bookmark will earn a FREE ticket the GCPS night at the Diamond on Wednesday, April 13th.  Families can purchase additional tickets for $10 to the game using the link below.  Each ticket purchased earns $4 for our school! Purchase additional tickets for the GCPS Game Night at the Diamond
