We have had a great beginning of the school year here at Glendale. The combination of great students and staff along with support from our parents and community have helped jumpstart the school year. We are very excited about our upcoming home football game on Friday. Our players, cheerleaders, band members, students, and parents are excited about the new bleachers and having our first home game. As many of you know, we have been working with the construction company to ensure that the bleachers were ready for our first Varsity home game. I am pleased to let you know that DeWitt and Associates have done an incredible job under very difficult circumstances to finish the bleachers and have them ready for Friday September 3rd. They deserve a well done and thank you. At this time we will be playing football at Glendale this Friday and using our new stadium bleachers. We hope to see you here on September 3rd at 7:00 pm.

Go Falcons!!

Currently, there are 1,061 athletes registered to complete representing 37 states and 3 countries. Pro athletes registered to compete are Pip Taylor, Devon Palmer, Kelly Williamson, Leon Griffin and TJ Tollakson.
In order to make our event unforgettable for athletes, spectators, media representatives and VIPs from all over the world, more than 400 volunteers are needed. We are inviting local non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) designation (including schools and churches) and military organizations to provide (15) or more volunteers for the event. In appreciation, Ironman will donate $300 to your organization for your efforts! There are many ways in which your group can be part of this great experience … whether they want to manage bike and run aid stations, serve as course marshals or manage transition areas – we look forward having them on our Team! Shifts will vary but generally last 3-4 hours with some beginning as early as 5 a.m. on Sunday, September 19, 2010. Volunteers may also be required earlier in the week to assemble athlete information packets and to register athletes.

REMEMBER TO SIGN UP TO HELP GHS Football BY EMAILING COURTNEY!

I want to give special recognition to the five offensive linemen that played every single play in camp. Alex Givens, Riley Shantz, Connor Menown, Logan Bauer, and David Randall were true warriors. I also want to recognize Kinjo Omar for being named the Defensive Lineman MVP of the camp. The most exciting thing for me was the fact that Coach Allen, head coach at MSU, commented to me more than once that our team’s attitude and the way our players conducted themselves was outstanding. We certainly have a long way to go before the beginning of the season but we are on the right track and we have a group of young men that are committed to having a good season. Please encourage your son to attend summer fitness class from 8:00 am to 11:00 am Monday through Friday. It will take dedication from every single member of the team for us to reach our goal of winning a District Championship in 2010.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
