Plyometric and Weight Training starts tomorrow(Tuesday May 26th) from 8-9:30. The program starts at 8:00, this is not an open weight room where you come in when you want between 8-9:30. I am taking off time from my paid summer job to do this for FREE for every student from 8th grade to 12th grade. The program ends at 9:30 so I can go back to work. Hopefully there are so many athletes this week that I have to ask others to help me!
We will go every Monday thru Thursday for the summer. This is what athletes who want to get better do in the off season. If you don’t train in the summer, don’t complain about your inability to get better for your next sport season. This is what athletes do at other schools where athletes take their programs seriously. We didn’t invest money and buy some new weight equipment for it to look nice, we bought it to help our athletes train properly to get better, so get up tomorrow morning and have your butt at the school before 8:00 am!
Good luck to our baseball team today as they open the 1st round of regionals against Odin at Odin 4:30. Let's extend the season Greyhounds!
🎉 Congratulations to our May Students of the Month! 🎉
This month, we are celebrating students who have shown outstanding PAWS-itivity throughout our school! 😊🐾
🐾💜These students brighten classrooms with their kind words, encouraging attitudes, and respectful actions each and every day. They set a wonderful example for their classmates and help make our school a happy and welcoming place to learn and grow.🐾💜
We are so proud of Dylan, Londynn, Tanner, Baileigh, Riley, DeJuan and Lilah for spreading positivity wherever they go! Keep shining bright! 🌟
They're on their way to Kindergarten! 🐾Congratulations to the 34 little Greyhounds that graduated from Pre-K last week! We are so proud of you! Have a great summer! 💜
As coaches we are very proud of these 2 girls today. They may not have advanced to the finals on Saturday, but as freshman, this experience is invaluable. 5 of their teammates came up to support them today. This also helped fuel their talks about what they need to do to go up there next year as many of them were very close this year at Sectionals.
Danika was nervous as she had a special moment to be the very first athlete at the state finals to start the events with her first jump. That is a lot of pressure for anyone but she fought the nerves and landed 3 qualifying jumps with no scratches. Great job Danika!
Aleyda placed 23rd out of 45 runners after coming in ranked 30th out of 45 with a 12.86. 13 spots out of making finals on Saturday. Great job Aleyda!
Preparation for next season starts Tuesday in the weight room for weights, plyos and speed work with Coach Cruthis from 8-9:30am. Let's get to work!
