For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the women's basketball team at St. Edward's was able to continue their community outreach by volunteering with Travis Heights Elementary.
AUSTIN, Texas — When COVID first plagued the world in 2020, it put a pause on many group gatherings. One of the activities that was put on hold was the St. Edward's women’s basketball team’s annual community outreach. As the risk for the virus diminished, the Hilltoppers did not wait a second to jump back into serving the community they love.
“We have a number of students that come from other countries. We’re very diverse, and so we have kiddos that are learning English and it’s just helpful to have a little bit of one-on-one time,” said Travis Heights Elementary counselor Gloria Cano. While the student-athletes visit Travis Heights to mentor and volunteer weekly, the basketball game marked the first time the young kids were on the college campus together.
