Otto’s Fall Reading Kickoff

The Syracuse University School of Education, Syracuse Athletics, and Visions Federal Credit Union want to say THANK YOU for supporting the future of education! We’ve partnered with Otto the Orange for their Fall Reading Kickoff to contribute to your students’ love of reading (and the Syracuse Orange).

Fall 2022 Reading Kickoff

By reading just a few minutes a day your students, their families, and other teachers at your school will receive great rewards and special access to see Syracuse Orange football in action! Teachers, administrators, and other educators and staff can sign up your classroom, a grade level, or your whole school to participate. The recognition game is October 15, but you can continue to read, share, and celebrate all year long!

When your students participate in Otto’s Fall Reading Kickoff, your school or classroom will receive:

• Otto’s Reading Kickoff bookmarks mailed to your classroom.
• A complimentary ticket for participating students and educators to the Syracuse Orange v. North Carolina State football game on October 15, and the chance to purchase $10 discounted tickets for other guests (while supplies last; ordering information will be sent to participants).
• Special recognition for participants throughout the game on October 15, and a group photo on the field after the game.
