Lake Elsinore, CA, January 15, 2007 - The Lake Elsinore Storm is happy to be continuing the Riverside County Office of Education & Shea Homes Reading for Rewards (RFR) program for the 2007 season. Already in its eighth season, this program was developed to encourage students to read while rewarding them with two free tickets to a ballgame.

Beginning this month, members of the Storm front office will be visiting local schools to introduce the program to the students. As part of the visit, Thunder, the Storm mascot, will join the Storm staff in an interactive presentation of the classic baseball poem, "Casey at the Bat", by Ernest Thayer.

Special bookmarks, which will be used to record the titles of books he/she has read, will be distributed to each student (K-5). Once the student has read 10 books, they are to return their bookmark to their school no later than Monday, March 26th, 2007. Two Storm ticket vouchers, good for use on the dates below, will be sent out to all students who have successfully completed the program.

Reading for Rewards Redemption Dates

Sunday, April 29th vs. Stockton Ports

Sunday, May 13th vs. Modesto Nuts

Sunday, May 27th vs. Lancaster JetHawks

Sunday, June 10th vs. San Jose Giants

Sunday, June 17th vs. Bakersfield Blaze

The RFR program continued to be a huge success in 2006. With more than 70 schools participating, over 60,000 bookmarks were distributed to students throughout Riverside County.
