About:
12 of our athletic teams have committed to giving back to 5 local Veterans tomorrow. The student athletes will be cleaning their yards and visiting with these terrific veterans and their families. Its a small gesture for such a big sacrifice these veterans made for our country.
Over the course of the school year every team does a community service project, every captains does 10 additional hours and as an athletic department we do one project each season. With that said, one of the things I teach the students is that we do it because it is the right thing to do, not because we want any credit or publicity. We do limited publicity via social media with the hopes of sparking an interest in helping for other students.
