Women's Soccer Gets Rowdy About Reading!

Women's Soccer joined Mrs. Cole's first grade class at Rio Bravo Elementary School today to celebrate winning the 'Rowdy About Reading' Competition. Now entering its fifth year, Rowdy About Reading is a read-for-rewards program is available for all Kern County students in grades K-6. The five-month program is designed to encourage kids to read in order to contribute to their classroom “team” score. Rewards for reading achievement are made to each student in the participating classrooms. Mrs. Cole's class successfully read 1,320 books in the five month span therefore winning a end of the year pizza party with one lucky CSUB team. Women's Soccer players enjoyed an afternoon with the first graders teaching them soccer skills, reading them a book, and eating some delicious pizza! We hope to see these kids at our summer soccer camps in a couple months.
