The Recreation Center was buzzing today! Our Falcon Friends—inspired by the incredible work of Best Buddies—kicked off their latest First Friday event.
Falcon Friends isn't just a club; it’s a game-changer. By pairing our Student Athletes with Fitchburg Public School Extended Program partner students, we’re building more than just friendships—we’re building a stronger campus. Whether they’re in the gym or in the classroom, these pairs are proving that the best wins happen when we’re all on the same team.
