Eagle of the Week
This week we want to recognize our entire 3
rd
/4
th grade volleyball team. Things started off slowly for these girls, but last weekend they got their first win! To make that win even more impactful, they started the game down a player and were competing with 5 girls vs the opposing team’s 6. The kids we nervous, but that didn’t stop them from trying their best and capturing the “W”! Each week they get a little better and continue to work hard. They support each other and give their absolute best effort. Keep up the good work, girls.

Thanks to the handiwork of Kevin Hoffman and a generous 15% FCC group discount, tickets are $17/person ($20 face value). We only purchased 50 tickets at this time, however, there is an option to purchase 50 more (subject to availability, of course). Beyond that, FCC said they would work with us as best they could to sit everyone together. In any event, get your tickets early (and get them often). Section 112 (Lower Bowl, Endline Reserve). It should be a fantastic way to kick-off the unofficial beginning of summer!
