| Envision Children Hosts Academic Summer Enrichment Program |
Vincent Rey, Bengals' Linebacker #57, and seven other Bengals players
conducted a football clinic for more than 70 children, ages 4-10 years old at
Envision Children's Academic Summer Enrichment Program. The football
clinic took place at Winton Woods Intermediate School in Forest Park.
"Football is a big part of my life, and I love teaching young people about the
game," Rey said. "But we also want to make sure they understand the
importance of teamwork and listening to authority figures. Those concepts
will help them succeed in school and later in their work and family lives."
The other Bengals who instructed the children in the basics of football that
day were: Darien Harris, Nick Vigil, Gianni Paul, Floyd Raven, Shawn
Williams, Darqueze Dennard and Dezmond Johnson.
"The Bengals taught the kids the basics of the sport of football - the object of
the game, the rules, positions and other facts," said Sheryl McClung
McConney, founder and president of Envision Children. "The kids did
drills, learned how to throw and catch the football and other activities.
Before each student could run on the field to take part in the clinic, he or
she had to correctly answer an academic question related to football."
The Academic Summer Enrichment Program, which runs June 1 – July 22
this year, has the theme "Sports and Academics." The program teaches
students concepts in math, science, reading and social studies as it relates
to six different sports: football, basketball, hockey, baseball, tennis and
soccer.
High-fives to all who are making the Envision Children Academic Summer
Enrichment Program a success!
