Seniors from winter sports, along with their parents and coaches.

Boys Basketball
The varsity boys basketball team, led by head coach Ethan Walker and assisted by Steve Elliott, Jess Holmes, and Dalton Tostenson, had a foundational year, doubling their overall and conference win totals from 2017-18. They will return four of their five starters next year and will look to continue to build on this year's success. For the first time in recent years, all three boys teams were fielded, with both JV (led by head coach Dalton Tostenson) and JJV (coached by Mike Fox and assisted by Ron Wells) learning and improving throughout the course of the season.
Girls Basketball
Both the varsity and JJV girls basketball teams were coached by Laura Grace Hodupp, as she hopes to establish consistency and develop a strong girls program. The varsity team, assisted by Andrew Riddick, was the youngest team in the Metro Conference and looks to improve their win totals in future years as they gain experience and develop the JJV players.
Indoor Track
Hope Frost and Trent Sivils competed individually throughout the winter and performed admirably on the track. This season acted as a trial run to determine the feasibility of fielding an indoor track and field team in years to come. The season was a success, with Hope earning a fourth individual state championship with a win in the 1600m. She also placed 2nd in the 3200m. Trent placed 10th among all private school runners in the state in the 3200m.
Varsity Cheerleading
The varsity cheerleaders, led by coaches Kim Frost and Laura Nunziata, promoted school spirit and created a home-court atmosphere, which contributed to two home overtime wins for the boys varsity basketball team. The cheerleaders also partnered with the Impact cheerleaders to create exciting pep rally and halftime performances. The varsity squad should return 16 members next year.

Meet Chris Wingard,
Board of Directors
|
|
|
Board member Chris Wingard is a teacher at heart. Born in Maine and raised in upstate New York, Chris earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. She taught in a variety of schools and locations, even internationally at a Department of Defense School in Iceland, before homeschooling her children for eight years. Since then, she has managed a farm business, ran a house flipping business with her brother, along with teaching a women’s Sunday School group at her church.
Chris is married to Daren, a Physical Medicine and Rehab Physician, and they have three children: twins Katie and Josh (Class of 2017 graduates) and Nate (4th grade). The Wingards learned about StoneBridge after receiving an invitation to Christian Heritage Day, where they were impressed with the Biblical worldview, emphasis on primary documents, and involvement of parents, students, and teachers. The Wingard family resides in Windsor, where they raise goats and alpacas.
Chris’s goal as Board member is to “assist the Board and administration as the school looks to the future and God’s plans for it regarding facilities and enrollment… [and] help keep our focus on the SBS mission, vision, and quality as we grow and transition.” Her vision for StoneBridge is for our students to “live what they learn – not just have the head knowledge, but to live in a manner that shows their love for Christ.”

StoneBridge is looking for parents and grandparents who are interested in sharing their unique talents and gifts to lead, facilitate, or coach one of our after school clubs. Each club is offered once a week (Monday-Thursday) for six weeks, beginning the week of April 8. Clubs are a great way to come alongside students to build confidence, encourage creativity, foster teamwork, and give each student the opportunity to cultivate a new discipline or build upon an existing one.
Examples of club enrichment may include, but are not limited to: chess, STEM, archery, Gaga ball, flag football, jump rope, book club, science, community service, music, and math.
If you are interested in leading a club, please respond by March 8 to Angela Riley by
email.
