WESLEYAN MEN'S LACROSSE VISITS FOUNDATION SCHOOL FOR HEALTH & FITNESS DAY
(Cardinal Laxmen Join in the Festivities as Milford, Conn. School Honors Memory of Former Student)

 

      On Friday, September 29, 2006, several members of the Wesleyan men's lacrosse team visited Foundation High School in Milford, Conn. to participate in its Health and Fitness Day.  The Foundation High School is a state-approved high school for students with special needs. Will Parker, assistant Wesleyan men's lacrosse coach for the past eight seasons is a teacher at the school.  Health and Fitness Day is an annual event held in honor of Bobby Maguire, a former student at the school who suffered from severe health issues and eventually passed away from complications from his heart transplant. Bobby loved everything about sports; participating or spectating.  The staff and students at Foundation School honor his memory every fall with a fun-filled day.  Students engage in a variety of sports activities and attend an educational health fair in the afternoon. The Foundation students truly enjoyed the time Wesleyan student-athletes spent with them and are still talking about the visit.
