OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss quarterback Jeremiah Masoli and volleyball middle blocker Regina Thomas recently spent time reading to local school children as part of the "Reading With The Rebels" program.
Masoli read to third graders at Oxford Elementary before answering questions, signing autographs and posing for pictures with the school children, while Thomas read the book "It's Ok To Be Different" to the children at Willie Price University Nursery School this past week.The pair is just two of the many Rebel student-athletes who visit local schools on a regular basis.
Through CHAMPS Life Skills - Rebel Ready, Ole Miss student-athletes stay actively involved in both the Oxford and University communities. In addition to "Reading With The Rebels," student-athletes regularly participate in activities such as visiting patients in area hospitals, being mentors to elementary school students, visiting senior adults at local retirement centers, holding several "Meet The Rebels" days throughout the year, and giving numerous talks on subjects such as drug awareness and staying in school to area students.
