Members of the Southside Cardinal Football, Cheerleading, and Girls Basketball teams have recently stopped by to read to our students. The athletes have read to PK and Kindergarten students to help get them excited about reading. Each athlete had a book ready for them to read as they entered the classroom, hand-selected by the teacher. Upon entering the classroom our young scholars were ecstatic about having the athletes read to them. Our students were very attentive during story time. Many of the athletes recognized their PK or Kindergarten teacher and reminisced about the time they were in their classroom. It has been a nice treat having them on our campus to share their love of reading and talk to the students about the importance of reading.
