Cool happenings in Mexico
MUSINGS FROM COACH CAT
Today is easily my favorite day of the trip with Team Stars and Stripes. We ventured to a poor part of Monterrey and spent the afternoon with some elementary school children. The team was broken up into two groups. The first group worked hard to paint a wall that will become a mural, as well as concrete picnic tables and other areas that had been painted in graffiti. In the other group, out guys were attempting, though not quite successfully (significant language barrier) to learn some of American Football rules. The guys were able to get a few games of passing the ball in a circle and keep away going, but that was as close as we got to football. Our team came with lots of give-aways, shirts, shorts, hats, water bottles, etc.
I was extremely proud of our Foresters. We preach civic responsibility throughout our program, and to see these guys continue to perform on a global stage was awesome for me.
Here are a few pictures of our guys volunteering:

Senior "exit" interviews
Forester Seniors were asked a couple of quick fire questions during their last week in the Black and Red. Hear their answers to know what the Forester family is all about.

Andrew Dillon, brother of John Dillon '14 gives the pre-game speech before the Foresters would go on to defeat St. Norbert College 31-3 for their first victory over the Green Knights in 11 years.
Congrats on going #1-0 Andrew!
