Caden Clark is an avid reader. He told us about a current book on his reading list, ‘Rules’ by Cynthia Lord, a fictional story about a young girl’s relationship with her autistic brother. Caden’s love of reading is refreshing as reading is a lost interest in today’s internet and gaming generation.

Caden credits his dad with teaching him hard work ethic. He diligently practices everyday for the upcoming youth football season.

“From playing youth football, I’ve learned teamwork and how to work to achieve a goal.  It’s also a lot of fun.” – Caden Clark
