WPS Soccer Donates School Supplies to Buckingham Elementary School

9/10/2025

Berlin, MD – This week, the Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) Girls Soccer team collected new backpacks and filled them with essential school supplies to donate to Buckingham Elementary School in Berlin, Maryland.

This tradition began more than ten years ago, started by alumna and former teammate Marissa Grosso (‘18). Today, Head Coach Carol Hartnett proudly continues the legacy each season, coordinating the effort in partnership with the WPS Volunteer Club.

“This project has always been about more than soccer,” said Head Coach Carol Hartnett. “It’s about teaching our players the value of giving back and supporting younger students in our community.”

Founded in 1970, WPS is a private, independent Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 School, located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students attend from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. For more information about WPS, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
