BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Samford football players continued school visits promoting Education Day by stopping by Edgewood Elementary School on Wednesday.
Safety Alvin Hines II and defensive end Erik Peterson, and defensive tackle Patrick Hatcher all read to first grade classes at Edgewood Elementary in Homewood.
Hines, Peterson and Hatcher read Thanksgiving books with the children and then 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, Cahaba Heights Elementary, and Hall Kent 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.
