"When I think about how literacy ties into lacrosse, it's through the principles he's learning—understanding the rules, studying the guidelines, and applying discipline both on and off the field. This program has not only taught him a new skill and introduced him to a new sport, but it's also given him the tools to succeed academically and personally. So far, he's thriving, and I'm proud to see him enjoying and benefiting from it so much." (Dontae' Mom)
