In celebration of Dr. Seuss Day, Athletes for Charity brought former Dallas Cowboys players to visit Central and Landry Elementary campuses. Every year, the National Education Association celebrates Read Across America, which coincides with the birthday of author Dr. Seuss.
Former player Danny McCray and current Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, Nicole Bulcher visited Landry Elementary along with mascot Rowdy, to read to students. Additionally, former player Jesse Holley and Cover 4 reporter Lindsay Draper visited Central Elementary. Landry students enjoyed McCray and Bulcher reading about healthy bodies. Central students listened to Draper and Holley read about finances. After the reading sessions, students at both campuses received their own copies of the book to take home and read.
