The Walt WhitmanGirls Leaders Organization (GLO) held their 65th Annual Girls' Sports Night on Thursday, February 26th, and the north gymnasium was electric. The competition was heated as Maroon battled White with everyone winning in the end. Don't miss the slide show at the end.
A welcome message from GLO President and Vice President Kathryn Marchesiello and Maureen Leiva:
For the past 65 years, the Girls Leaders Organization has worked vigorously to put together Girls Sports Night. Originally, GSN gave young women the opportunity to participate in athletics that were only available to males. However, as the years progressed and girl’s teams were established, we still keep the tradition alive.
The officiating organization has always been the Girls Leaders Organization. The criteria to being inducted includes; high academic achievement, participation in varsity athletics, hours of community service, as well as dedication to the club and its activities and events. Some of our community service includes; Breast Cancer Awareness, Pumpkins Patch for Disabled Children, Thanksgiving food drive, Toys for Tots for the Dolan Center, and St. Baldrick’s.
After three long months of hard work and dedication, we have seen our girls leaders truly grow into becoming young women and role models. All of our captains have put in numerous hours to make this night possible. Their work has truly paid off and has not gone unnoticed. To the girls participating, we hope you had fun, and continue to participate in the following years. We would also like to extend a big thank you to our parents for your endless support and love. We thank you for shuffling us around to our practices.
We would also like to thank Mrs. Mahoney, our advisor, for all the work she puts into GLO and GSN. Anything we have done and will do in the future would not be possible without you!
We hope you enjoy the night,
Love Always, Kathryn Marchesiello and Maureen Leiva
