Men from as far away as Washington, D.C. and from as nearby as Greer High School descended upon Chandler Creek Elementary Friday to prove that “Real Men Read.”

Former Riverside High School teacher and coach Don Miller has written a book based on his 43-year career working with students and student athletes.

With nickels and dimes, dress down days and yard sales, Greer Middle College students played hard and worked hard during their recent Spirit Week to raise funds for Pendleton Place and the school’s building fund.
