Our goal is to raise support to purchase a backpack for each of the student-athletes on Spruce's football team. These backpacks will help the students with organization, responsibility and academic success. Our team goal is to average a 3.0 Grade Point Average across the football program. This goal will lead to our ultimate goal of sending every football player who goes through Spruce's program for four years off to college upon graduation from high school. Student Athletes at Spruce attend tutoring sessions after school every Monday. They also receive weekly grade checks by their coaches to insure their grades are meeting college readiness standards. The backpacks will help students keep their school work organized and accountable for their supplies.
