In partnership with the Co-operators, the Guelph Storm is once again offering its Champions for Education Program to schools in Guelph and the surrounding area. The program utilizes the players' status as role models in the community as well as their experience as athletes to reinforce the concepts of literacy, school, community, opportunity, respect, excellence, and anti-bullying for elementary school students. For more information on these programs, or to book them for your school, please see the Read to Succeed and S.C.O.R.E Program pages or contact Sarah Twigger at stwigger@guelphstorm.com or by phone at 519-837-9690 ext. 106.
