Who’s robocalling kids who miss a lot of school? A Seahawk

What better motivation to roust students out of bed in the morning than a wake-up call from a Seahawk?

Starting with kids in Tumwater, that’s just what’s going to happen soon with a robocall recorded by wide receiver Jermaine Kearse, who barks, “Get up and go to school!” along with an early-morning dose of football talk.

“Don’t be left on the sidelines. The future is all yours; all you have to do is show up.”

Kearse has actually recorded two messages for school districts — one for students, and one in which he notifies parents when a child is absent.
