- New to Work to Play this year, NTA has created a team of dedicated and focused soccer players! For many of them it was first time ever playing the game, but they quickly learned and have said that soccer is now their favorite sport!
- For their service-learning project, they have found a passion in helping children with cancer, so they are launching a fundraiser in May to benefit Lurie Children’s Hospital.
