About:
All of our sports teams are asked to conduct a service project at some point during the school year. Our Lacrosse program has teamed up with the Salvation Army the past two years to conduct a Christmas service project. Last year, the members of the team logged hours as bell ringers. This year, because of the concerns associated with Covid, we decided to work with the Salvation Army to “adopt” a family to help provide a Christmas experience for them. The members of the varsity and jv teams combined to collect an incredible number of gifts, clothing, and gift cards to donate to a family of 4 here in the Rochester-area. It was a tremendous effort – as coach and athletic director, I could not be more proud of the girls and their families for the commitment they showed to this project.
