The Eastern Washington University Men’s Basketball team is soaring into 12 SPS elementary schools to kick off a six-week Read Like an Eagle challenge!
Players and coaches brought the energy with an assembly about college hoops, setting goals, and why reading matters. They even threw down in a slam dunk contest and popped into classrooms to share a story!
They challenged kindergarten students to read 50 minutes every week for six weeks by Dec. 1, with a goal of 100 minutes for grades 1-5. Students who meet their goal will receive a free ticket to EWU home game this season!
Big thanks to EWU for inspiring our students to dream big and read even bigger!
Check out a few photos of their visits to Hamblen and Whitman elementary schools on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
