Stallions in the Spotlight
Thank you to all those who participated in the 3rd Annual Corral for the Kids Dodgeball Tournament! Also, thank you to all the club members who gave up their time to help make the event so successful, especially leadership team members Anthony Salmeron, Abbey Dop, Kyle Moon, Lucia Tuffey, Rachel Plzak, Nina Ryan, and Jared Noble. Having NBC4 at this year's event paid a great tribute to the supportive atmosphere of our community as well as generated awareness to all those battling pediatric cancer, namely our very own Tyler Burke. Congratulations to Shook's Mystery Gang (team captains Cody Littler and Conner O'Keefe) for winning the tournament overall. The Corral for the Kids club would like to express their gratitude for the support from all students and faculty in all they have done For The Kids. Check out NBC4 write up on the event.
Did you know: In 2016,
during senior Tyler Burke's 13th year of his cancer journey, he and his mother, Bobbi, started the 1 Makes a Difference Foundation - to improve the lives of children, adolescents, and young adults diagnosed with cancer. Tyler's family began actively advocating for increased research funding after he underwent weeks of radiation therapy in 2013 when they were, once again, reminded of the toxicity of treatments and limited options for young people with cancer. In 2016, after participating in several awareness events and advocating on Capitol Hill, they decided to amplify their efforts by raising much-needed research funds and helping cancer families with critical needs by creating the 1 Makes a Difference Foundation.

Lord Jesus, loving Shepherd, in every care and every choice, may I listen to Your voice; For You suffered on the Cross, so that Your flock would not be lost. Safe within Your watchful keep, may I fall now to restful sleep; That when the rays of dawn appear, In Your light, I shall not fear. Amen.
