Here we go. This week our 2013-14 activities start competing. It's going to be an exciting ride with peaks and valleys. That's part of the process and is unavoidable. Through it all though there's a good feeling in the hallways and I think we're ready to go out and do our best. This week's blog is full of Good Lucks.
Volleyball travels to Newton of Tuesday for a freshmen and varsity tournament. On Thursday, we'll open our home season hosting West Marshall. 9/JV will start at 5:30, with varsity around 7:00. Good Luck to all of the players and coaches. Our coaches this year are Erin Hoffmann, Rebecca Blythe, and Scott Mavin.
Football will host Boone in the season opener at Doane Hakes Stadium on Friday night. The freshmen will get things going at 4:45, with varsity kicking off at 7:30. Good Luck to the Wildcat football players and coaches. Our coaching staff this year consists of Mark Hoekstra, Jared Fletcher, Tony Smith, Jason Mehrhoff, JJ Novotny, Kyle Joiner, Brian Keeney, and Justin Hagedorn. Remember, 2 non-district games before the district schedule starts. In addition, on Friday night we plan to recognize the State Runner Up girls softball team at the end of the first quarter.
Cross Country does not run until next Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, at the SE Polk Invitational. Good Luck to all of the harriers and coaches this season. Cross Country coaches are Marty Mitchell and Thomas Cotter.
The CHS Marching Band and Color Guard has been working hard for a few weeks now too getting their 2013 show ready for competition. It sounds like a real enjoyable show featuring Disney tunes. We look forward to seeing them on the field this Friday night. They are under the direction of Conner Tipping, Kim Howland, and Dana Baker.
Our Debate team is starting to get things organized. They have a new coach this year, as our veteran coach, Mr. Fink, stepped down from that position after last year. Good Luck on the preparation for your debate season. Our new debate coach this year is Daphne Sayers.
Our cheerleaders and dance team have been hard at it all summer and are getting some great routines together. Good Luck to both groups as their competition seasons start and they represent CHS. Cheer coaches are Jen Nordhagen and Linsey Olsen, with the dance team under the direction of Dana Baker and Amanda Tower.
We also have two girls swimming in our Coop program with Lincoln High School. Good Luck!!
The Fall Play is now being organized by Jon Wright. This year's production will be "A Mid Summer Night's Dream". Good Luck as you begin preparations for the show.
In addition, this doesn't begin to mention the 200+ Middle School students participating in programs at the middle school levels. Good Luck to all of the students and coaches there as well.
We have so many students involved in the fall, and I'm very proud of how I anticipate them representing Carlisle Communtiy Schools. Our coaches and sponsors are all working hard giving their best efforts for our students as well. We'll work hard to control what we can control. We can control our attitude, effort, and sportsmanship. The rest is out of our control. Parents and fans, I hope you'll appreciate the efforts and be a source of encouragement to our students and teams. It's amazing what positive comments can do to help everyone involved.
What we do on the Activities side is the "Other Side of Education", and we believe we are instilling qualities in our students that can help them in all of their future endeavors.
Just a reminder to use our Carlisle Activities webpage to keep up on everything happening in the Activities Department.
We thank everyone for their support of our programs. See you soon.
