ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
The South Side High School athletic director hopes a $20,000 grant can turn visions of youth camps for elementary and middle school students into a reality.
With the Fort Wayne Community Schools board s blessing, Torrey Curry is drafting an application for the Reimagining School Sports in America grant offered through the Aspen Institute s Project Play.
Eight winners representing various school types, including a large urban public high school, will each receive $20,000.
The competitive, nationwide grant would provide startup capital to hold youth camps for elementary and middle school students attending South Side feeder schools, according to information provided to the board Monday.
