Hello all of my
fellow BET’s! It has been quite a while
since my last post, so I wanted to update you on some cool things happening in
my world.
As most of you
know, from a previous post, I was named the Middle School and High School Cross
Country coach at the beginning of this school year. This was quite a challenge for me as I had
never coached any sports, save a season of church youth basketball way back in
the early eighties. I really enjoyed
coaching these amazing kids. I also had
an awesome assistant coach in Austin Conner, so I think the season was a huge
success. Next year, I think we will have
even more kids running and it looks like we may be able to field a team large
enough to compete in team meets.
This Spring, we
are staging the musical Guys and Dolls at Culver Community Middle School/High
School! I am once again serving as
assistant director to our amazing director Diane Derrow, who leads this
wonderfully talented cast of kids! We
are so excited to have several returning players from last year, and a truly
promising group of middle school kids that look like they will carry the torch
with swagger for many years to come. So be
sure to save the first weekend in March to come see our production of Guys and
Dolls! I will post times and dates later
in February.
I have also been
asked to coach the Boys Golf Team this coming season. It is still unofficial, since I need to be
approved by the school board, but I feel fairly certain I will be given the
green light. This is the position I have
wanted since I began teaching but thought it was hopeless due to the fact that
we already had a great golf coach in Kyle Elliott. The fact that he is younger than me also made
me think it impossible in the foreseeable future. But alas, he has decided to lighten his load
a bit, and I fortunately am in the right place at the right time. I just hope I can work as well with the kids
and be as good a mentor as he has been for the past fourteen years. Thanks so much for allowing me this
opportunity Coach Elliott!
