Thank you:
Each week the activities department will highlight a group of people who help make our activities department run. This week we would like to thank our parents. We recognize the hours and resources parents put into giving our student athletes the opportunities to succeed in their activities. We recognize the emotional roller coaster you ride as you cheer on your student athlete at competitions. Many parents volunteer to help run events, coach, or donate in so many other ways, to make our programs successful. We could not have student activities without you! Thank you!

AD’s Remarks:
What an amazing turnout we had for the girls soccer game/winter champions celebration last Tuesday! Thanks for your support. We have one month left in our spring sports seasons (less than that for some sports), so get out and support these student athletes before their seasons end.
Our student athletes are always trying to push their limits. It is only by trying to push their limits that they discover how much more they have in themselves. Track and field is such a great example of this. It is amazing to watch these kids give everything they have at the track meet. They often surprise themselves on just how much more they have in them then even they could have imagined. Pushing their limits is one of the many great life skills that our student athletes learn. Go Spartans!
