🏈🏀 From the NFL to WM Elementary! 🏀🏈
We’re thrilled to welcome Jake Witt—local legend, NFL athlete, and all-around inspiration—to Wakefield-Marenisco School for a special hands-on session with our elementary students!
🗓 July 23rd at 2:30 PM
📍 Wakefield-Marenisco School Gymnasium
Jake’s story is one of talent, hard work, and heart. A standout in both basketball and football, he chased his dream all the way to the NFL Draft, landing a spot with the Indianapolis Colts. Now, he's back in the U.P. serving the community as a Health and Wellness Coach in Watersmeet.
Our students are in for a treat as Jake brings his energy, experience, and passion for health and athletics right into the gym. 💪📚
Thank you, Jake, for giving back to the U.P.—you continue to make us proud! ❤️💙
