THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME
Notre Dame activates Go Teach by giving studentathletes opportunities to showcase their leadership in a classroom through the Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE). Some recent examples include: + Skylar (Women’s Swim & Dive) sent an intro video to middle schoolers in New Orleans, who responded by practicing their formal email writing skills. + Middle school students in Denver each wrote letters to Victoria (Women’s Rowing) to become old-fashioned pen-pals. + Rhianna (Women’s Swim & Dive) led a read-aloud over Zoom to third graders in Dallas. + Cameron (Women’s Tennis) shared an “About Me” video with fifth graders in Jacksonville. + The Go Teach project includes the sponsorship of books for ACE Classroom Connections. ACE Classrooms around the country are encouraged to request a book through the Notre Dame ACE program. Books are then sent to both ACE teachers and ND student-athletes.
COACH TAGGART'S TOUCHDOWN READERS
Coach (Willie) Taggart’s Touchdown Readers program at Florida Atlantic is designed to encourage elementary and middle schoolage students (K-8) to continue reading over the summer. FAU football studentathletes also participated, joining kids virtually to read with them. With a goal of four grade-level-appropriate books read over the summer, Coach Taggart’s Touchdown Readers promotes reading and learning, and students who complete the program are able to claim two tickets to an FAU football game.
