📚⚾️ Let’s Read, GES! ⚾️📚
GES has officially kicked off our 2026 Delmarva Shorebirds Reading Challenge!
Students who read 4 books and return their completed bookmark to their homeroom teacher will earn 2 Shorebirds tickets! 🙌 If you can't find your bookmark write your books down on a piece of paper and turn it in.
So snuggle up, grab a good book, and read your way through this chilly weekend while dreaming of spring baseball! 🌸⚾️
📣Parents, we want to hear from you!
