Dear Principal or Teacher,
After a fun and successful event last December, Providence College and its Athletic Department are proud to present the fourth annual "PROJECT PROVIDENCE: Forming the Future with the Friars." In its junior year, PROJECT PROVIDENCE featured over 1,200 middle and elementary school students from across the greater Providence area. Our goal is to create an educational and fun-filled day, benefitting these young students and fill Alumni Hall with Friar Fanatics.
Presented by the PC Athletic Department and the Providence College Women's Basketball team, PROJECT PROVIDENCE will be held on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 in Alumni Hall on the campus of Providence College. The event will consist of activities to inform the students about good sportsmanship, exercise programs, proper nutrition, the importance of athletics for the well-being of mind and body, as well as education. Each activity will be administered by a member of the PC Athletic Department. The activities will be followed by a women's basketball game featuring the University of Vermont Catamounts and the Providence College Friars at noon.
Two teaching guides and learning guides will be delivered to students as part of the program:
- Pre-Event Student Guide
This guide will be distributed to classrooms the week of December 6th. Each guide will include information and fun activities on a variety of subjects including nutrition, exercise, geography, language arts, mathematics, and more. These guides will be great for learning in the classroom or at home.
- Event-Day Student Guide
This guide will be distributed on and used the day of the event. It will provide information that the students can use during the activities, on the bus ride to and from, as well as information on the Friars.
Due to the educational nature of this event and Providence College's commitment to community involvement, this event will be completely FREE of charge.
We encourage you to reserve a spot for your students today, as there are a limited number of seats available. Applicants will be dealt with on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline for registration is Friday, November 19, 2010.
