School Programs
The Tornado have three school programs: Read to Achieve, Honor Roll, and Teacher Appreciation. Through these various programs, it is our hope to have a positive impact on the Tornado of tomorrow. To learn more about the school programs, please read below: Read to Achieve This six-week program is designed to encourage elementary and middle school students to read for enjoyment. For every three books a student reads, he or she scores a hat trick. Once they score a hat trick, the students will receive a "Read to Achieve" voucher redeemable for a complimentary ticket to our Reading Rewards Night. Tornado hockey players are also available to come into the classroom to read to the students during the program. The "Read to Achieve" program will begin January 4, 2010 and run until February 15, 2010. The students will have the opportunity to redeem their ticket voucher during any regular season game in March, 2010. To have your school or classroom participate in this program, please contact Amanda Dougherty at 972.335.9800 ext. 239 or via email at amanda@club-tornado.com.
Honor Roll Program The goal of this program is to reward the academic achievements of elementary and middle school students. Students who achieve the A/AB Honor Roll during the predetermined grading period will receive a complimentary ticket voucher for the Honor Roll Night. The Honor Roll program will begin August 24, 2009 and end March 1, 2010. If you would like your school or classroom to participate for a semester or quarter, please contact Amanda Dougherty at 972.335.9800 ext. 239 or via email at amanda@club-tornado.com prior to the start of the semester or quarter in which you would like to participate.
Teacher Appreciation The Tornado encourages school principals, co-workers and students to submit a letter or essay recommending one outstanding teacher from their school for the Teacher Appreciation Award. The objective of the program is to recognize local teachers for their excellence in the classroom as well as in the school and community in which they teach. Each teacher will be honored and presented with a certificate during our pregame ceremony. All teachers who are recommended will receive 2 complimentary tickets to the Teacher Appreciation Night. The individual that submits a letter or essay will also receive a complimentary ticket to Teacher Appreciation Night. The deadline to submit your essay is December 31, 2009, and can be sent via e-mail to amanda@club-tornado.com. Teacher Appreciation Night will be Saturday, January 9, 2010.
Tornado Appearances The Texas Tornado is proud to be active in the local community in a variety of ways including player and mascot appearances. Each season, Tornado players as well as Ike, the polar bear, make many appearances throughout the community at area schools, libraries and youth hockey leagues. If you are interested in having Ike or a Tornado player visit, please contact Amanda Dougherty at 972.335.9800 ext. 239 or via email at amanda@club-tornado.com |
