Patriots Player Cameron Fleming Surprises Students at Foxborough Charter School

The New England Patriots player promoted literacy at Foxborough Regional Charter School on Wednesday night.

The members of the Foxborough Regional Charter School’s family reading reading program knew the employer of the special guest at their latest meeting started with a P, but it wasn’t until students saw members of the school’s staff wearing the blue attire of the New England Patriots that it became clear a football player was stopping by.

On Wednesday evening, Patriots offensive lineman Cameron Fleming was the special guest at the last meeting of the reading group this school year, promoting literacy as part of the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation.

Fleming read “A Cheer for My Mother and “Let’s Go, Patriots!” to the group of families with students ranging from kindergarten to third grade, before signing autographs for the kids.
