Notre Dame cornerback targets school attendance

Read full story here:
A Notre Dame football standout is taking his leadership off the field and into local schools.

Leonard Moore partnered with Gentlemen & Scholars and Team Excel to host a “Tackle Attendance” Touchdown Session — aimed at fighting chronic absenteeism in South Bend Community Schools.

The program connects students with mentors and encourages them to see showing up to school as a step toward future success.

“Yeah, I feel like it's huge, especially for them to have somebody I guess on the Notre Dame football team,” said Leonard Moore, Notre Dame Football Cornerback. “Or just somebody to look up to somebody who's potentially been in their shoes before in some aspect of things. They can ask questions and you know learn more about life."

Sessions were held at Clay International Academy and Edison Middle School.

Organizers say the goal is simple — help students feel seen, supported, and motivated to keep showing up.
