BILLINGS, Mont. – Student-athletes and coaches from the Montana State University Billings women’s soccer team spent time volunteering at Boulder Elementary School on Thursday afternoon, spending time with the elementary school students and participating in a variety of activities. “We always want to give back to the community,” said MSUB head coach Wojtek Krakowiak. “They come to our games, and we have really great support from the Billings community. Giving back today was great for the kids and also for our players.” The Yellowjackets helped students create Thanksgiving turkeys constructed out of party hats and paper, as part of a teamwork project in the classroom. “It was really fun to interact with the kids, to see their active side, and to get to know them a little bit,” commented freshman Sarah Coghlan. “The opportunity to give back is an amazing feeling. Going out there and seeing how much they look up to us is a good feeling and motivator for me.”
