What is the Read with Rusty program?
This is a voluntary reading program that encourages children to read outside the classroom by rewarding them for reaching their goals over the 6-week timeframe from Saturday, October 5th to Friday, November 15th. Students that achieve their reading goals will receive a complimentary ticket to a Chicago Steel hockey game (USHL) at Fox Valley Ice Arena. On the night of the game, club members can join Steel Mascot Rusty and a player or coach for a pre-game reading session, plus all members will receive a Chicago Steel lanyard and participate in post-game autograph signing.
The recommended reading goal is one period of 20 minutes five days per week totaling 600 minutes (this may be adjusted by parent/guardian). Assigned Homework reading and Lunch Time Book club assignments DO count toward the Read with Rusty program minutes so make sure you are counting everything you read outside the classroom!
Belle Aire has a section for us to sit together at the game Sunday December 29th at 3:05pm. Pregame reading session begins at 2:30pm.
All Chicago Steel games are played at:
Fox Valley Ice Arena
1996 S. Kirk Rd.
Geneva, IL 60134
