Through various sessions, delegates will be given the opportunity to learn about the struggles of the first Filipinos in America, the on-going and current issues facing Filipino-Americans, and the numerous outlets and sources available to combat these problems.

D6 Annual Turkeybowl!

Turkeybowl, now in its 12th year, has been held annually at the GMU intermural fields where Turkeybowl was first established. It is a chance for District VI schools to partake in friendly competition of flag football.. heavy on the “competition” aspect! Despite our rough play on the fields, we all remain united as a District as we leave the field as friends and colleagues.
