Soccer Family


This year your team has grown by a few players and you have Coach Erin.  Let's be honest you were a bit hesitant about having Erin but just the other day you told me you have learned so much from her already and are excited to see what you will learn.  In her words she is "firm but fair".   This team is unique in a good way - not only are you teammates you are great friends on and off the pitch.   You guys love to hang out outside of practice - kick the ball around, Mod Pizza, Shopping in the highlands, sleepovers, OL Reign games and more.    Dad and I also feel lucky b/c the parents and families are so great!   We are looking forward to some great soccer at Surf Cup (San Diego) in August and Fall GA Season - Go LFC

Last Day of 6th Grade (CMMS: '22-'23)

That's a wrap, goodbye 6th grade hello summer!  To say you were excited/nervous (nerve-cited) for middle school in an understatement but man were you ready!  CMMS has been such a great change for you, I think you liked everything about it.  The first two months you were nominated by your teacher for Falcon Award for going above and beyond, we could not be more proud.  You worked hard, always getting your homework done and learning to study for tests - you got a 4.0 all three trimesters.  I can confirm you were least looking forward to Drama Class but am happy to report it ended up being your favorite class of the year.  You also loved PE of ours, Ms. Dow is the best and excelled in ELA (taking Advanced ELA next year per your teachers recommendation).  Math continues to be your least favorite subject BUT you worked really hard even when you were overwhelmed and frustrated.  

Most importantly you have made some new amazing friends from class, the lunch table crew to sports friends.  We mostly hear about Mary Ann, Kate, Morgan, Gracie, Taylor, Brooklynn - all live in New Castle and are really great!

We are so proud of the hard work and dedication you put into everything you do from school to sports to being a great friend.  Here's to a great summer ahead!  Love, Mom & Dad

OL Reign and Liverpool FC

If you are immediately wondering why you have red on it's because ISC Gunners has officially changed to Liverpool FC.  It was a bit of an abrupt change but feels right - lots of tools for coaches and consistency in top level training and development for all. 

The photos below are at the OL Reign game where you and a few girls from your team were chosen to be ball girls.  It was a unique experience, you had a great time AND  OL Reign WON!  We stayed after and all of you gone tons of autographs!  Oh and the moms had fun too :)
