🎉❄️ Advantage Lancaster Takes on Camelback Mountain! ❄️🎉
Advantage Lancaster proudly rewarded 34 amazing young people with an unforgettable snow tubing experience! These students earned their spot by maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA, participating in 5+ tennis sessions, and engaging in at least one school extracurricular activity 👏🏾🎾📚
On the bus ride, we asked how many students would be snow tubing for the first time… 90% raised their hands! 🙋🏾♀️🙋🏽♂️
Then we asked how many had ever been to Camelback Mountain before… EVERY hand went up! 🙌🏾✨
From the first slide down the mountain to the final ride of the day, the laughter was nonstop. By the end of the trip, the smiles, conversations, and pure joy on their faces said it all — this was more than a trip, it was a memory they’ll never forget 💙
🌟 Huge shoutout to Mrs. Meadows for organizing and executing such an exciting day of fun and opportunity!
💙 Special thank you to our wonderful parent chaperones Jaqui and Eddie for spending the day with Advantage Lancaster and helping make it such a success!
This is what hard work, commitment, and community look like. We are so proud of our students!
