One need not bend their ear to hear a 6th grader grumble about not being able to participate in school-sponsored activities. But directly upstairs, it is no less difficult to hear a 7th grader excited about last night’s game or the upcoming competition!
The reality is, that the most valuable experiences for our 6th graders are in community-sponsored athletics. This is the case for many surrounding communities. That being said, below is a taste of what they can look forward to next year.
Roaming around the hallways this fall, as 7th graders are just dipping their toes in the waters of school-sponsored activities, these are some comments that can be heard…
| “It’s awesome!” – Jack Banwart (football) |
“You’re representing your school.” – Matt Dufoe (football) |
|
| “It’s really fun. I really like it. I’ve always wanted to be a cheerleader.” – Lilah Hegerty |
||
| “I like running. Just improving and getting more physically fit. It would be, probably a 9.” – Michael Payne (XC) |
“Teams are bigger and we get to practice everyday. And we get to leave early from school.” – Volleyball Girls |
|
| “I did Volleyball and Cross Country. Eventually we’ll decide if we want to play Volleyball or Cross Country. It feels good to run for my school.” – Cross Country Girls |
