Today was the first day of our community outreach initiative to give back and get out in our local community.

Several members of our team spent the morning at West Main Elementary in Ravenna.  While there, our student-athletes were each assigned a classroom and helped the teachers with their morning lessons.  The players took part in one-on-one reading, read to the class as a whole, helped groups with specific tasks, as well as other duties.


Sophomore Heather Bachman was one of the student-athletes that helped out this morning.

"It was fun," Bachman said.  "They were really excited to see us.  The excitement on their faces was nice and it was new."
