Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School

🏈 At the Students vs. Staff Flag Football game, our students brought their A-game and secured a 22-0 victory. But the real win was seeing new friendships form and connections grow on and off the field! 🙌🐺

💬 "The best thing about DBCR Flag Football is that the students had fun! They worked extremely hard and were excited to do their very best. It brought together students who typically do not interact with one another, helping them become teammates, supporters, and friends." — Mr. Nickens, Math Teacher & Flag Football Coach

🐺 Congratulations to our student athletes!! GO WOLFPACK 🏆🔥
