ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The Rocky's Readers program presented by Zaxby's asks students to read five age appropriate books over the winter school break to earn a ticket to cheer on the UNC Asheville women's basketball team, and this year was another huge success.
For the last 10 years, students from the Western Carolina area have participated with their school in the Rocky's Readers program. All students who complete their reading and return their log to the school are invited to come to the special Rocky's Readers game.
