Together at School

This year once again, the Montreal Alouettes and several Centres de services scolaires of the Greater Montreal area will join forces for the 27th edition of the Together at School community program, aimed at supporting high school students in and around the Greater Montreal area.

Since 1998, the program’s main objective has been to encourage young people to make the right decisions and stay in school, while focusing on a wide range of challenges that are part of their reality; from academic performance to pressure and consistency, to the importance of staying active. Once again this year, the Alouettes players will seek to inspire and motivate the students they meet by conveying the importance of making the right choices and sharing with them that it is possible to reach their full potential through hard work and dedication.

For the first time in 27 years, the Together at School 2025 program will focus on bullying, whether verbal, physical, psychological or online. The program will be supported by the Sport’Aide organization, which will educate players on the subject and how to approach young people to ensure they get their message across.

‌

“For 27 years, our Together at School program has been an initiative that has allowed us to connect with young people in high schools across Quebec and make a positive impact on our society by encouraging kids to stay in school.

There are many obstacles that can derail a students’ efforts on their path to success, and bullying is one that is becoming increasingly prevalent. We are very pleased that our partnership with Sport’Aide will allow us to train our players and members of our organization in addressing this issue in schools. We would like to thank Sylvain Croteau and his team for their dedication and invaluable contribution in supporting our efforts.”

Thanks to this partnership, several initiatives will be put in place and offered by the Alouettes to schools, namely:

A conference organized by the Alouettes, during which two of the team’s players will meet students to talk about their experiences and sign autographs.
An opportunity to experience an Alouettes game with a special price for a specific Alouettes regular season game, the chance to raise funds (from $3 to $5 per ticket depending on the number of tickets sold), a pair of tickets offered to each school that communicates the offer to its members, as well as the chance for school students to take part in a unique experience at the stadium during the game (“Hail of Honor” at the players’ entrance, national anthem in front of the players, etc.).

The $500 Michael Soles Scholarship awarded by the Alouettes to two students who have distinguished themselves over the past year.

Together at School, a broad-scale program run by the Montreal Alouettes, will once again enable our youth to discover new opportunities while taking part in stimulating events. It’s a way for all of us to contribute to their academic success.

‌

“The Sport’Aide team is very pleased to collaborate with the Montreal Alouettes for the Together at School campaign, which will help educate thousands of young people about the importance of taking action against bullying. Seeing the organization commit to this initiative highlights the shared responsibility we all have to address critical issues affecting the development and well-being of our society.

Great work Alouettes, and thank you for your trust in Sport’Aide.”
