PHILADELPHIA - The Temple University Department of Athletics hosted its annual "Partnership Field Day" with four local elementary schools today on Chodoff Field at the Edberg-Olson Hall Football Complex. The Field Day is one of many community outreach projects conducted by the Department of Athletics via its "Owl Outreach" program.
Over 120 student-athletes from 22 of Temple's varsity teams hosted over 400 sixth through eight grade students from the Dunbar, Meade, Duckrey and Ferguson elementary schools. The elementary school students competed in a variety of events and relays on the field with current Temple student-athletes from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Prior to today's event Temple student-athletes visited each of the participating schools to help promote literacy, positive behavior and the value of sportsmanship.
Owl Outreach is a community service program conducted by the Department of Athletics to raise the consciousness and awareness in young people throughout the Delaware Valley on aspects of leadership, positive character development and community service.
