Greetings Kroger Squirrel Tails Members!

 

Spring Training is right around the corner and that can only mean one thing - Opening Day is almost here!  Do you have April 4th marked on your calendar?

 

This is an exciting week for me as I turn 3!  Check out a special offer below in honor of my birthday.  I'd love to celebrate your birthday here at The Diamond in 2013!

 

This edition of "From the Treehouse" is jammed packed with FUNN events just for YOU - hope you can take advantage!  Look forward to seeing you soon!

Nominate Your Favorite Teacher Today!

 Is it a book? Is it a brain? It's a Super Teacher!

Put the KaPOW! in K-12 and help us recognize

Virginia's true heroes of education.

 

 

You can help celebrate Virginia's heroes of education by nominating a Super Teacher. The Virginia Lottery's Super Teacher Awards honor outstanding Virginia public school teachers, and thanks them for their dedication and commitment to students and their families. This program recognizes teachers who go the extra mile each day and who inspire others to do the same. So far, the program has honored 40 of Virginia's finest teachers.

 

The Virginia Lottery is proud to partner with the Virginia PTA and the Supply Room Companies to sponsor the Super Teacher awards for the sixth year. 

 

Super Teacher The Virginia Lottery is committed to education in Virginia. Lottery profits support public education, and have contributed more than $5 billion to Virginia's K- 12 education. Lottery employees support education by volunteering at public schools around the Commonwealth, and unclaimed lottery winnings support the state's Literary Fund.

 

All full-time, fully licensed K- 12 public school educators in Virginia are eligible for nomination.

 

Any adult, 18 years or older, may nominate a teacher, and he or she may nominate more than one teacher.  

 

Nominating a deserving teacher is easy. Simply go to vasuperteacher.com and follow the instructions. 

 

Nominations must be received by February 15, 2013.

 

Each of the eight winners will receive a $2,000 cash prize from the Virginia Lottery, and a $2,000 classroom supply credit from The Supply Room Companies.

 

This year, one of the eight schools at which a Super Teacher was honored will be selected to win an ADDITIONAL $5,000 credit provided by The Supply Room Companies to purchase items for the entire school.  That school will be chosen through a Facebook contest, which will be held in spring 2013.

Arena Racing USA - Check it Out!

  

Looking for some fun and exciting, FAMILY-FRIENDLY entertainment during these winter months?  Go see Arena Racing at the Richmond Coliseum! 

 

A night at Arena Racing includes free posters, driver autographs, souvenirs, great music, T-shirt cannon, spectator contests, and of course, very exciting indoor stock car racing!  And the Flying Squirrels have made special arrangements with Arena Racing for you to get free kids tickets with the purchase of an adult ticket (see the coupon below).

 

What is Arena Racing? The cars are half-scale stock cars running on a one-tenth mile banked oval track, the size of a hockey rink. The cars lap the track in about 8-seconds, and they bump, rub, and even FLIP as local drivers compete for almost $50,000 cash prizes paid out over the season!  On a typical racing night, there are four individual races totaling almost 200 laps of exciting racing!  Arena Racing provides all the excitement of the full-sized race cars, but within the comfort of the Richmond Coliseum, and without the excessive noise and fumes normally associated with motorsports events.  Your kids will love it... guaranteed!

 

  • Kroger Squirrel Tails Members can get in for FREE to these upcoming events: February 9th, 15th, 16th with the voucher below.
  • Friday Events:  doors open at 6:30 PM;  racing starts at 7:30 PM
