🏈 FROM SUPER BOWL CHAMP TO LITERACY CHAMP 📚 | A former @NFL player and member of the Super Bowl Champion New England @Patriots visited @KingElemJCPS today to share the magic of reading with students.

Malcolm Mitchell inspired students, brought a magician with him to perform a magic show, and read his book The Magician's Hat—helping students see that books can be just as powerful as big plays! #WeAreJCPS
