SIUE Cougars and Special Olympics of Southern Illinois

On Saturday, April 16th the Cougars had the opportunity to practice and work with Rich Crouthers' Special Olympics team of Southern Illinois as they prepared for their regional qualifying game the next day.  It was a cold and gloomy April morning but working with these amazing kids made it a great day for everyone!!!

Alumni game

Alumni Game 2011

Saturday, April 9th the Cougar alumni cheered on our current team to victory over visiting Missouri Valley College in a spring contest.  The contest was the first of two for the day.  The second game played was between our current team and our alumni.  It was a great day and we are so thankful for the support from our alumni.  It was great to see everyone!  Thanks for coming out and see you in the fall for our next alumni event!

Cougars' Community Service

The Cougars spent a snowy Saturday in March working in the local community.  First Baptist Church of Maryville is preparing their new addition for it's grand opening on Sunday, April 10th and the Cougars were excited to help them get ready.  We spent the day in the new Preschool wing doing all sorts of things from painting, cleaning, organizing and moving resources from the old wing to the new one.  It was a great day and we were happy to lend a helping hand!
