Kodiak Attack!




I'm a believer in school sports...

Yes, it takes...
Valuable study time...
Time away from classes...
Money...

But, it also gives...
Self-esteem,
life long habit of physical exercise,
the opportunity to represent your school in areas that have never heard of you...
the chance to operate under pressure,
learning to work with a team, to be part of a team...




When I went to school, just a few years back..
we weren't allowed to play other schools...
we weren't allowed to be "competitive"

I was an athlete and honestly, it was the one area of my life I felt some
self-confidence in...
I would have LOVED to have had the opportunity our kids are having right now!

If you don't know, the Kodiaks, CAA's girls and boys bball teams, are marching up the ladder to the State finals...
Last night the boys won again making them District Champions!
The girls in a heart breaker, lost by 1. They are in 2nd place...
They are both headed to State...



CAA has never had bball teams compete at this level...
its very exciting for our little school...



However, it has been said, that people will accuse us of only caring about sports...
of becoming a "sports school"
Get over it people...(not you few who read my blog, but those other "people")
we are many things,
we have a school full of diverse talents and many opportunities

But most of all, we are school full of spirited, energetic, multi-talented, Christian kids!

Go Kodiaks!

  1. These are great kids who will not lose focus on Christ... but will feel like they were allowed to experience life. They will be better leaders from this experience. Go Kodiaks!
