On June 1, New England Patriots alumni, cheerleaders and mascot, Pat Patriot visited Young Woods Elementary School in Providence, R.I. to host a Scholastic Book Fair following the school's continued efforts in improving their attendance rates. The visit marked the third time the New England Patriots Foundation has visited the school after challenging students to achieve higher attendance rates. After previous visits from Patriots cornerback Jalen Mills and offensive lineman Cole Strange, approximately 200 students achieved perfect attendance, and the school improved their overall attendance rate by 32%. Patriots alumni Joe Andruzzi, Tully Banta-Cain, Dan Koppen, Jonas Gray and Patrick Pass helped students select books as a reward, with each student taking home three books to read for the summer.
