*Outdoor Activity Challenges-Sponsored by PTL

 
SPORTS CORNER
 

FLAG FOOTBALL

All three of our teams have shown tremendous improvement from the first couple practices to our first games. So far the defenses for each team has been outstanding with offenses that move the ball methodically down the field. Each of the teams look like contenders in their divisions this year.   The varsity boys have scored 96 points in just two games!  JV has scored 26 point in just one game! Each game our coaches are looking for improvement and most importantly ensuring each player is having as much fun as possible! Mrs. Ohlrich, who is leading our girls team, has brought a lot of creativity and spirit to our Athletic Department! 

 
GOLF

Golf is off to a great start.  The skills of the golfers improve with each practice.  Six schools participated in the first tournament.  Family of Christ came in third place behind Florida College and Foundation Christian.  Individually eighth grader Connor N. came in first place beating 30 other opponents.

NIGHT OF KNIGHTS WINNER
"PRINCIPALS FOR DAY"
JOURNEY S.

Thank you  Journey S. for our special "Principal For A Day".   You proclaimed that teachers switch classrooms for one hour. You went to lunch at Olive Garden with Principal Snow, Coach Frank and friends.    Your classmates got an extra recess. You used your custom-made marshmallow guns to attack the classes! Great Job!
