WHAT MAKES JA GREAT
With the busyness of the week and the concentration on Prospective Family Information Night, it gives me an opportunity to concentrate on the reasons why families should join the JA community. And the number one reason is just that, community. Many of our successes only happen because of the group we are. As we honored our Girls soccer team last Friday in front of a full crowd for their 3A Championship, it struck me that this was a school-wide accomplishment led by our Girls Soccer team. Absolutely, they won and earned the championship for the school. However, there were others involved to support their success. Our parents put many miles on their cars driving to many practices and games and spend countless hours volunteering to keep score, film games, collect gate admissions, work concessions, etc. Our teachers taught many of the athletes how to think. Students and fans keep the stands Loud and Proud. Our Facilities team keeps our building and field in top condition. Our dedicated coaches instill the winning attitude in the team and spend many hours of planning, scouting, and coaching! It truly takes a community effort to achieve and for that, I am thankful for being a part of JA.
