Chapel Hill -- Several members of the North Carolina football program spent Monday at Creekside Elementary School in Durham as part of the team's season-long community service efforts.
UNC student-athletes visited first and second grade classrooms and helped the elementary school kids perform skits that focused on teamwork, leadership, honesty and sportsmanship. The players also read books to the classes, including the popular Dr. Seuss book, The Foot Book.
"This was a fun event and our football student-athletes really enjoyed spending time with the kids," said Andre' Williams, UNC's Director of Football Student-Athlete Development. "It was truly exciting to see how well the kids responded and how they interacted with our football players. It made an impact on both the kids and the players."
Student-athletes who spent their off day at Creekside included Nathan Staub, John Ferranto, Shakeel Rashad, Myers Colvin, Landon Turner, Mitch Trubisky, Reggie Wilkins, Jarrod James, Cam Campbell, Nick Weiler, Dan Mastromatteo and Cody Johnson.
