Dear Parent,I am pleased to inform you that McAuliffe Elementary School is participating in Texas Motor Speedway’s Speeding To Read educational program during the 2017-18 school year.The Speeding To Read program challenges students to read more frequently throughout the school year, both during and outside of school hours. Your child and school will be among the 14,000 students and 22 elementary schools in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex competing for prize packs; NASCAR and INDYCAR race tickets at Texas Motor Speedway; NASCAR, INDYCAR and TMS merchandise; and championship trophies throughout the school year. Every student in the competition also will receive a complimentary Speeding To Read t-shirt and bookmark.In addition to individual honors, Speeding To Read promotes teamwork as we recognize and reward the top classrooms and schools in the competition that is divided into four turns. Prizes are awarded to the top readers at each turn that segments the school year and then the overall champions are crowned during a championship assembly at Texas Motor Speedway in May with guest INDYCAR and NASCAR drivers.The competition officially kicks off Monday, Sept. 18, and will go through Thursday, May 3. Your child will be bringing home a reading log sheet for each turn to log any of the books read outside of school. The log explains the scoring for the different grades on the sheet and should your child fill up one sheet be sure that they get another for that turn. Since it is a competition, we ask that you oversee the accuracy of your child’s books logged outside of school.You also will have the opportunity to help your school raise funds through Speeding To Read. Texas Motor Speedway is going to donate 10% of any ticket purchased by you, family or friends for any race in the three upcoming race weekends – the AAA Texas 500 NASCAR tripleheader Nov. 3-5, O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 NASCAR doubleheader April 7-8, and Texas INDY 600 INDYCAR/NASCAR/SuperTrucks tripleheader June 8-9. There will be a special landing page built at STR for each school participating in Speeding To Read to purchase tickets with 10% of the proceeds donated to your school from all three race weekends. Another benefit is $10 tickets for all children 12 and under for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and Verizon IndyCar Series races, and FREE with an adult ticket purchase for an NASCAR XFINITY Series or Camping World Truck Series race. You can bring up to four 12-and-under children for every adult purchase.Your school will be providing additional information on this opportunity and we will be producing an informational flyer for your child to bring home.I wish the best of luck to your child and school in the Speeding To Read competition. We hope they enjoy the experience.Regards,Mike Mike ZizzoVice President of Media RelationsTexas Motor Speedway ................
