Dr. Sandra Kirby - Hall of Famers on Tour!

Exploration Rebels have been selected as the featured school on Dr. Sandra Kirby's Hall of Famers tour!

To supplement our Science of Sports Quest in Session 6, this educational presentation will connect Hall of Famers with students in real-time to share their stories of how they’ve reached the pinnacle of their careers and are going “beyond their wins” to champion good in their communities. Our education programs aim to equip youth with critical life skills, lessons and tools for success, creating a moment where students discover for themselves that sport teaches more than sport.
