Read Your Way to the Big Game!

Gettys Middle School students can join students across South Carolina in a reading contest. Two students in South Carolina will win 4 tickets, sideline passes, and pregame activities for the Palmetto Bowl! If we have over 70% of our school participating, we will be entered to win $2000 for our school library and a teacher could win $500 for their classroom.

You can't win if you don't read!

How can you win?

1. Pick up a reading log from your advisory teacher and start reading. (OR you can print this form.)

Below is the letter to Parents and Families:

Parents and Families!
Help your child qualify to win Palmetto Bowl tickets by participating in EOC's Read Your Way to the Big Game contest!

The SC Education Oversight Committee believes reading is a child's key to success in school and life. That's why the EOC is emphasizing reading through its Read Your Way to the Big Game contest. The goal of the contest is to get your child excited about reading!

Entering your child in the contest is simple! Make sure your child reads six reading-level appropriate books, complete the book list and return it to your child's teacher for a chance to win.

All students who meet the six-book challenge qualify for the drawing for the grand prize: a chance to win a trip to the Palmetto Bowl.

There will be two winners - one for USC and one for Clemson. Each winner will receive four tickets, sideline passes, and pre-game activities. Students must choose a team and can only enter once. Participation is limited to students in South Carolina elementary and middle public schools. All students will receive a bookmark.
