Friday Focus - BG Gives Back to our Community
This week, several student-athletes from Buffalo Grove volunteered at the Read-a-thon at Greenbrier to help their students learn the excitement of reading.

| Is this not the cutest picture ever? |
Although our kids were excited to begin with, they were overjoyed once they left. We even heard from a few of the kids, "that was great...can we do this next year too?"
Hopefully this can be an event that we can grow in upcoming years.
