How to sign up for Auggie's Reading Program
For the 2025 season, all Aiken County Public Schools, Columbia County Public Schools, and Richmond County Schools are automatically enrolled in Auggie's Reading Program. The GreenJackets, in partnership with each county's Board of Education, have worked together so all students grades K-8 (depending on your district) are already a part of this very successful program. Other schools across the CSRA are encouraged to participate as well!

3. Set Reading Requirements
- Auggie's Reading Program is a four-week program divided into four sections, each representing a "base" on the baseball diamond. Once students complete an assignment, they will advance to the next base! The goal is to hit a "home run" by the end of the designated time frame set by the Teacher, Librarians or Media Specialists.
- Teachers, Librarians, Media Specialists work with students to set requirements and goals. Goals can be set by the number of books, number of pages, number of hours spent reading, etc.
- Each base the student completes comes with a prize from one of the Auggie's Reading Program sponsors.
4. Track Student Progress
