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 student-athletes. On March 2, 2022, student-athletes will be visiting Kindergarten classrooms throughout Horry County to read The Squirrels Who Squabbled by Rachel Bright. This book is a laugh-out-loud tale about friendship and sharing.

Due to Horry County Schools operating on a virtual and hybrid schedule, we were unable to host the event in classrooms for 2021 and student-athletes read virtually. We are excited to be able to be back in classrooms this year for 2022.
