OAKLAND – Messalonskee High School girls soccer welcomed a record 46 girls at Messalonskee Middle School for the 7th annual ShineOn Saturday Sept. 24
Girls pre-K to grade five came from 10 different local elementary schools to be mentored, playing fun field games, learning new skills, and receiving autographed posters from the players.
ShineOn Saturday was created seven years ago to honor former Messalonskee student Cassidy Charette. Charette was a leading Eagle midfielder and a youth mentor before she was killed in a hayride accident on Oct. 11, 2014. Players also received a Cassidy bracelet, to receive a special snack, and recognition, at the team’s home games this season.
ShineOn Saturday is sponsored by the Messalonskee girls soccer teams and the ShineOnCass Foundation.
The ShineOnCass Foundation was created to educate, inspire and empower youth to shine their own light through acts of kindness and volunteer charitable activities. For more information about the Foundation and upcoming ShineOnCass initiatives, visit shineoncass.org or email shineoncass@gmail.com.
