BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Samford football players visited Hall Kent Elementary School in Homewood on Monday.
Offensive linemen George Allers, Jacob Kirschenbaum and Branden Moore, safety Alvin Hines II, and defensive end Erik Peterson all read to first and fifth grade classes at Hall Kent. The players presented each child with a Bulldog Buddies bookmark to encourage them to read.
The players read books, answered questions and explained the important role a good education plays in life after school. The Samford players presented students at the schools with a "Bulldog Buddies" bookmark.
Samford football players are visiting other schools in the Birmingham area leading up to the Nov. 20 Education Day game against The Citadel. They have already visited Liberty Park Elementary, Vestavia Central Elementary, Vestavia East Elementary, and Cahaba Heights Elementary.
Samford football will be hosting Education Day on Saturday, Nov. 20 for the Bulldogs' game against The Citadel. All kids, who bring their bookmark, will be admitted to the football game for free with a paid adult.
All kids in attendance can enter to win a free flat-screen television to be given away at the game. Also, the school who brings the most children to the game will receive a donation from the Samford Athletics Department to the winning school's library.
Additional photos of Samford Football school visits can be found on the athletics facebook page: Samford University Athletics.
