A new program to help children develop their academic and athletic skills is coming Surrey School District No. 36.
The Surrey Eagles Hockey Club, the City of Surrey, the Peace Arch News and the Surrey Leader present Mayor Dianne Watts' Score for Surrey Schools program.
The program will encourage children to improve academics, supportive behaviour and sports achievement, with Surrey Eagles home-game tickets as incentives. All Surrey elementary schools are eligible.
“I was sold immediately on the value of this program,” Watts said. “It’s an exciting and innovative way to encourage excellence in our schools and a great way to bring the business community on board.”
Ronnie Paterson of the Surrey Eagles encourages local businesses to jump on board.
“This new program is a great example of how the community can work together to benefit elementary students throughout the city,” Paterson said.
“We are really eager to attract the support of Surrey’s businesses so that as many elementary schools as possible can participate in the program.”
