HAWKS ALL-STAR CENTER AL HORFORD
VISITS ATKINSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ATLANTA, GA (March 3, 2011) ----- Atlanta Hawks All-Star center Al Horford joined Dante' Graydon for breakfast at Susie B. Atkinson Elementary School (in Griffin) on March 3, before taking part in an anti-bullying pep rally. Graydon was selected as the Grand Prize Winner of the "Why Bully Free Is The Way To Be" Essay Contest, which asked students to write about the dangers of bullying. Horford and Graydon also distributed breakfast (courtesy of Chick-fil-A®) to the fifth-grader's home room class. The contest was held as part of the Read to Achieve program presented by Philips.

Additionally, Graydon and each grade level winner of the contest will be recognized during an on-court ceremony with Horford prior to the Hawks-Knicks game at Philips Arena on March 6 (6:30 p.m. tipoff).
