Summer Activities

Wow! Almost a month has flown by since I have last posted to this blog. Well that is to be expected as school is out and our focus shifts to family and outdoor activities. It has been a busy June for me as I have been coaching a wonderful group of girls in the game of basketball. We are busy 2 nights a week with open gym time and league games. The girls are showing some remarkable improvement and have been a joy to coach. We have had record turnouts for open gyms and for participation in league games. We are holding our own with teams from 4 and 5A schools.

I am excited to have our first annual Country Bible & Basketball Camp in my hometown of Waverly, Kansas July 11-15. Waverly is about 1 hour south of KC on I-35. We will be using the church camp where I attended in my youth for housing and other country activities and using the high school gym for the basketball portion. A real treat will be introducing my high school coaches to the girls. I will be leading the basketball portion along with my assistant Diane Metcalf and several other volunteers. My wife and mom will be doing the cooking(enough reason to attend!). My sister has helped with artwork and will be a dorm mom, and my Dad will be leading the Bible studies. So it is a family affair and should be a great time of learning and bonding.

I also attended some wonderful training in Wilmington, Delaware on how to be a Board Chairman. So I told the Board last night that I think we have some opportunities that can make us a stronger Board which in turn should make us a stronger school. More on these opportunities in another post.

And to wrap up my other activities for the school this summer is my pursuit of getting my CDL license to drive a bus. The girls should be highly encouraging of me passing this test. The back up plan for transporting them from the Camp to the High School will be in the back of a horse trailer. Just kidding!

Hope everyone has a great summer! Don't stop praying for the school. We need kids to enroll!
