This fundraising event will help raise funds for the implemen- tation of this exciting program scheduled to start Spring 2020 at James Elementary. The participating students will learn the fundamen- tals of the sport of golf, etiquette, the impor- tance of S.T.E.M. and how it is implemented in this sport, along with mentorship from golf professionals, corpo- rate women executives and business owners.
