Reading with the Blue Flame continued this week with several of our winter sports athletes reading to students at PES. Participating student-athletes were Coley Gillian (Basketball), Jacob Santeler (Wrestling), and Hanna Woody (Cheer). Partnering teachers were Mrs. Erin Hunter, Mrs. Jennifer Patterson, and Mrs. Stacie Seaborn. After our student-athletes read festive Christmas books to their elementary friends, they were able to field questions ranging from "How tall are you?" to "What's your favorite Christmas song?" posed by inquiring minds in their audiences. Special thanks to Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. Winchester for their help selecting books and for the use of the Media Center.
