STRAIGHT-A
TICKETS!
Once again, students
who hit a home run academically can earn free Reds tickets as the
Cincinnati Reds kick off the 2008 Straight-A Program. The Reds have
designed the Straight-A Program to reward academic achievement among
students in grades seven through twelve. St. Antoninus School will be
participating in this year’s Straight-A Program along with hundreds of
other schools. “The Straight-A Program began 43 years ago, and is a
Reds tradition that we are proud to continue,” said Phil Castellini,
Vice President of Business Operations. “The Reds have rewarded over
2,000,000 students to date, and we know that going to a Reds game
remains an ideal way to recognize student’s hard work.” Students
obtaining an “A” or “A-“ grade average in academic subjects in the
second quarter are eligible for the free tickets. Qualifying students
will be given an order from redeemable for tickets. Each Straight-A
student will be able to select two free View Level tickets for one of
the designated Straight-A dates on the Reds’ 2008 schedule. Half-price
tickets are available for additional family and friends.
