READING WITH THE TIGERS

Reading with the Tigers returned this fall, visiting students at five local elementary schools. More than 100 student-athletes volunteered throughout the semester, sharing their favorite children’s books with 50 individual classrooms . The program also visited Crosby Copeland Elementary School in Trenton for a special Halloween edition of reading, where the Tigers donned their best costumes and shared some spooky classics.

“As Princeton student-athletes, it’s really easy for us to get wrapped up in school, sports, and all the other things vying for our attention in day-to-day life.

Having the opportunity to go to a local school and interact with kids while reading to them helps keep me grounded and reminds me of the larger Princeton community outside of our own campus. I always leave the kids feeling much calmer and energized for the day ahead.”
