Coach Joel Costigan recently made a memorable visit to Rowe Elementary School, accompanied by four exceptionally talented Deering High School soccer players (two of whom are graduating and pursuing college-level play). The interaction between the fourth and fifth graders and these older athletes provided a valuable opportunity to discuss teamwork and athletic prowess. The DHS players were even able to communicate with students in Portuguese, French, and Lingala, and act as role models for what being a successful high school athlete looks like. This heartwarming event exemplified a spirit of community, education, and sportsmanship and is an example of students giving back to the community.
