The Bulls talked with festival-goers about the role school has been in their lives, then played basketball with the youth in attendance. The USF cheer squad, dance team and Rocky also attended the event.

"Our student-athletes were extremely well-received at the Temple Terrace Reads festival," said Justin Miller, Assistant A.D. for Academics and Student-Athlete Development at USF. "In spite of the fact that this week has been the hottest of the fall, the students did a great job representing the department and continuing our established relationship with the community. We thank Coach Stan Heath for facilitating his team's participation."

The Temple Terrace Reads Festival is a literacy program aimed at stressing the importance of academics which was held at Temple Terrace Elementary school, and was sponsored by the city of Temple Terrace, the Hillsborough County School District and the Temple Terrace Chamber of Commerce.

The free family fun festival had more than 30 booths with storytelling, crafts, book authors and book gift bags this year.
