Dear Parent/Guardian:

The Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball team would like to invite your child to participate in their annual
“Buzzer Readers” reading program. Buzzer Readers is an initiative to promote and encourage children to learn
through reading. We are excited for the new prizes and incentives that will surround the program! It will be
held in conjunction with the start of the Women’s Basketball season. All elementary and middle school
students from schools in Metro Atlanta are eligible to participate.

Requirements:
- Each student will record the number of pages read daily from October 1 to October 31, 2020, with the
parent or guardian initialing the reading sheet provided. Pages read to the student by a parent or
guardian may also be included. Students can read books or newspapers (one full newspaper page
counts as two reading program pages). Please total the number of pages read on the reading sheet
below.
- Parents may read to their children; however, group reading in a classroom setting are not to be
counted.
- The name of the book, along with author, is requested to provide information to the teacher as to the
types of books the children are reading at home. Please ensure the books are geared to help the
children learn and grow. Ebooks/Nooks are NOT to be counted. However, books coming from a source
provided from the school (i.e. online library) are permitted.

Awards:
Students participating in the program are eligible for several prizes including a plaque, Georgia Tech bookmark
and autographed memorabilia. In addition, the top classes with the most pages read will receive a visit from
the Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball team in the Spring Semester, virtually (making sure we keep health and
safety policies in place). Prizes will be awarded for the following categories:

- Highest School Total (Elementary and Middle School)

- Highest Class Total from Each Grade
- Highest Individual Total (Elementary and Middle School)
- Highest Individual from Each Grade
- All Participants (in seat recognition and Georgia United goodie bag)

Your child must return his/her reading sheets to the classroom teacher no later than Monday November 1,
2020. On behalf of the Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball team, I would like to thank you for supporting your
child’s education.

Sincerely,

Brittni Oliver
Assistant Director of Women’s Basketball Operations
