Community thanks students pt2
Letter to the Editor


   On Saturday, Feb. 12, Barnes & Noble Booksellers on Grape Road hosted a Book Fair in conjunction with Liberty Elementary School in Mishawaka. Many volunteers from the school and community helped to make it a great success.

Three Notre Dame football players donated a part of their Saturday to read and speak to the kids on the importance of reading. Grant Irons, Gerald Morgan and Jabari Holloway encouraged a crowd of kids and stayed for pictures and autographs.

Too often we hear only the negative of today's student-athletes. However, these young men represented their university well with their politeness, enthusiasm and humor. Their willingness to participate was a positive example and we truly appreciate them.
