Quote of the Week:

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” - John F. Kennedy

Thank you:

A huge thank you to all of our High School Fall Coaches who guided our teams this fall! It was a pleasure to watch you all work with our student athletes and help them achieve extraordinary results! Thank you Kristi, Rob, Paul, Aaron, Kenny, Phil and Poppy plus all the assistants and volunteers that are essential to our programs!

Also a special thank you to our Athletic Trainer Ana, who has taken a job with the Coast Guard and will not be with us for the remainder of the school year. We wish you the best of luck at the Coast Guard Academy!

AD’s Remarks:

The Salida High School Athletics and Activities Department would like to thank and honor all of the men and women from our community who served in the Armed Forces to protect and serve the United State of America. Your sacrifice and hard work securing our freedom allows us the opportunity to have fun on Friday nights in front of our fans and community. It allows us to live freely and pursue our dreams because you served to protect those dreams. Days like today remind us that there are things far more important than high school sports. We can do our part to honor those who have served, by continuing to work to improve and better ourselves and our communities so that their sacrifice was not wasted or squandered.

Question of The Week: 

What are the Dangers of Praise? What are the Dangers of Criticism? How can both of those cause harm?
