This week we celebrated Football Friday on Thursday. This is when our football players volunteer in our elementary classrooms. Cole was kind enough to play Legos with the students in Ms. Dyke's Pre-K classroom at Georgetown Elementary. This wonderful opportunity teaches our student athletes about the joy of volunteering and creates lasting connections between our younger and older students. #fireupgoeagles πŸ¦… Georgetown Elementary PTC
