Mrs. Fultz has a class full of first graders and not just any first graders, but Bengals fans!

“I started putting up the decorations roughly a couple of weeks ago when the playoffs started,” said Emily Fultz.

She started sharing her posts on social media and much to her surprise she said, “I saw that CJ Uzomah looked at one of the posts.”

Uzomah is Fultz’s favorite Bengals player.

“I just love how down to earth he is with everything. We have some decorations of him up in our classroom,” Fultz said.

Now, she hopes he’ll do a special favor for her class.

“I would love if he was the player that could come and read to our classroom because that’s who my students have been seeing around the classroom,” Fultz said.

The classroom is decorated with a lot of orange and black. “When you think about these first-grade students, they really haven’t had a real school year because it’s happened the last two years since they were in pre-school. So, just to have them have some excitement something positive to talk about,” Fultz said.
