The afternoon of Halloween fun is just one of the ways that La Salle Athletics connects with Logan Elementary. Student-athletes regularly visit Logan as part of the Play Pals program, where they spend time playing with, reading to, and getting to know the elementary schoolers. Earlier this year, the two schools partnered for the Learn to Swim Pilot Program, teaching Logan students vital water safety knowledge and tips.
