Spring 2008
As the dust is beginning to settle on our Spring Sports season, we would like to convey a hearty thank you to all of our coaches! The weather provided us with some challenges this year. We are blessed with coaches that care for our kids, enjoy what they are doing and understand that athletics is about more than wins and losses. We are blessed with mentors who are committed to using sports as an avenue to teach life lessons (like perseverance this year). To all of you coaches who commit so much to our kids, we are grateful; we pray the Lord will bless each of you abundantly.
