School VP, Michelle McKormick, reached out to Uplay hopeful to be considered for the Community Connect program being a disc golf enthusiast herself and very hopeful to provide a unique and special opportunity for her students. The school had never experienced hosting any professional guest instructors before and reported having fewer opportunities for their students due to funding and location.

Uplay staff Zoe AnDyke, Dustin Keegan, and Ella Hansen presented and were joined by returning Pro Ambassador James Conrad, and new Ambassadors Kat Mertsch and Nikko Locastro. Another outstanding day to report a 100% student participation rate throughout every class, totaling 194 students and 7 more teachers.
