Owl Laxmen Help Out in the Community

From Stuart Kaufman, Sports Information: Several members of Keene State’s men’s lacrosse team recently put down their sticks and picked up shovels to help out at the Surry Village Charter School. The school recently moved, and director Matora Fiorey was looking for volunteers to help spruce up the new location. Craig Roach, KSC assistant men’s lacrosse coach, works as a paraprofessional at the school, and knew he had the right men for the job.

“The guys really enjoyed it,” said Roach, a 2003 KSC grad, who earned his graduate degree in education last spring. “The coaching staff always tries to express how important it is to give back to the community. They jumped on board and were ready to go.”

“It was a dream when 13 of the players arrived early on Saturday morning to do a variety of jobs, including digging ditches, collecting trash, and transporting fencing,” said Fiorey. “The pride, enthusiasm, and leadership shown was truly inspirational and will long be remembered. ‘Come on guys, let’s show them what Keene State is all about,’ is a quote that sums up the day.”
