Caring for Kindergarteners

Each year, Coastal Carolina University student-athletes read to kindergarten students across Horry County to teach them a cycle of caring. This program shows the children the importance of early childhood literacy as well as volunteerism.

Caring for Kindergarteners is an annual reading event partnership with Coastal Carolina University (CCU) student-athletes. On March 22, 2022, 84 CCU student-athletes visited kindergarten classrooms throughout Horry County to read The Squirrels Who Squabbled by Rachel Bright and Jim Field. This book is a laugh-out-loud tale about friendship and sharing.
