News for the Week of February 24, 2014

Program Notes for the Week of 2/24/2014:

Scholarship Reminder:
A reminder about the Gino Strippoli Memorial Scholarship which is valued at $1,000. Applications for this scholarship are part of the Common Scholarship Application process and are available in the Guidance office at ALHS. Deadline is 2/28/14 at 3:00 p.m. 


2014 Schedule:
Please find below the schedule for the 2014 season. There may still be some changes, but this will be pretty much what to expect.  This year's schedule provides a variety of competition including two schools from the Toledo area in Oregan Clay and Sylvania Northview; the 4 new members of the SWC in 2015 in Avon, Lakewood, Midview & North Royalton; the current SWC teams; and two private schools Padua & St. Joe's.  It looks to be a schedule that we can be very competitive with.

Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week. Hope you find something that inspires you here:
When you are tempted to give up, your breakthrough is probably around the corner. Never give up.

The measure of a person isn't where they stand in moments of comfort & convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge.

Your biggest competitor should always be yourself. Self-motivation is key. You won't be successful without it.

Focus on being a better you every single day and beating the competition will be easy.

To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them. - Picabo Street
