Chance for students to receive home game tickets!

Houston Astros, Reliant Energy promote summer reading (KPRC)

HOUSTON – The Houston Astros Foundation and Reliant Energy have partnered for the second year in a row to stop the “summer slide” that happens too often for elementary students. That’s why they are excited to kick off the “Slide into Summer Reading” program, which encourage students to become “Reliant Readers” during their school break.

The goal is to achieve 60,000 reading hours this summer by elementary students in the Greater Houston area. The top 3,000 readers will receive tickets to an Astros home game in August to celebrate their summer reading achievements.
