Project PLAY (Promoting Literacy from Athletes to Youth) is a literary program focusing on creating a role model relationship between the athletes and the children. The purpose of this program is to show the kids how "cool" reading can be, promote school spirit, and encourage kids to "idolize" the athletes and follow their actions. It is a great program for schools large and small. We started this program in the elementary school, where Bushland athletes would read to the children. The athletes consisted of football players and volleyball players.

This is a project that allows eighth grade students and seniors to associate and get involve with each other to better themselves and their school. The mission of this program is to help students make an easier transition from middle school and into high school. Through first hand experience I've notice that a lot of freshmen or nineth graders struggle to make frineds with upperclassmen such as juniors and seniors. i've also noticed that Uperclassmen tend to pick on freshmen and give them a hard time.
