Since, UME does not provide buses for the away games, it’s usually a bit of a problem. “It’s very annoying because most schools have a bus, but ours doesn’t,” says Madeleine Colvard, the Sports Editor of the Talon. The stress of being able to even get to the game really gets to the athletes and families.

 

Some parents cannot afford to be going back and forth to and from their children’s games. Most kids can already hear their parents exclaim, “Gas is expensive!” Sometimes, athletes aren’t able to find rides and have to skip the game entirely, affecting them and their team.

 

By gathering funds for a bus, students and parents can avoid the stress of rides to and from away games. The problem of finding rides for the athletes will be solved!
