Moving into the 2023 season, I wanted to freshen up our Northstar Mentality. Ten years ago, our 2013 class developed the Iron Star Code. Each point on the 5-pointed star is recognized to represent one belief that our program will be built on. Each point on the star is equal to the one before it. The values of Leadership, Investment, Selflessness, Accountability, and Preparation make up our North Star. In the center of the completed stars lies the T.E.A.M. For the past ten seasons and every moment in between, we have remained consistent in our steadfast belief in these five values. They are our "True North". These beliefs will be our compass in all we do as a program on and off the field. Much like the Northstar in maritime days, we will use our "True North" as the compass we will follow in the journey to the elite.

For this reason, we will be renaming our Iron Star Code as the St. Charles North "True North" mentality. I am proud of these words and what they mean. I have seen them transform lives, including my own. I hope you can share in our "True North" words and discuss these values with your son or daughter as much as possible. These behaviors win, and belief must exist in our journey to the elite. As we say, championship behaviors preceded championships. We must commit ourselves to these habits until they become our rituals.

I am passionate about these ideologies. I have spent the past ten years working relentlessly to develop this program and the people who are a part of it. While teaching is my job, coaching is my calling. I want to make this program the best high school athletics program in Illinois. I do not say this to toot my own horn; I am sharing this with you to provide insight into what I envision this program can be. The bottom line is that this program is significant to me, as are all of you. I cannot wait to take on the journey of this coming season.

Stars Family,

Happy Sunday, I hope your weekend has been enjoyable. I will keep our message brief this week and get into the details. It was another great week for our program! The Stars continue to do whatever it takes to prepare for a week 1 victory. The summer is slipping away, and the final two weeks will be great fun with many opportunities. We have a fun-filled week, highlighted by our SCN U camps and culminating with our Ottercove Water Park event. I do not want to bog people down with minutia. Below you will find the details of the week. If you have questions, please reach out.

True North

Every year our program is allowed ONE fundraiser per year. The fundraising portion of the program is honestly not my favorite but essential. We do not have multiple buckets to pull from, and without a substantial fundraising effort from our players, we will simply be unable to give the experience that we want to give year in and year. We are asking each player to take accountability and provide a selfless attitude as they begin the first of our two-prong fundraising plan.

Beginning July 11th we will start our Adrenaline Fundraising Activity. Each player will be given 12 value cards to sell at 30 dollars each. These cards have both local and nonlocal advantages. While there are great deals at some of our favorite restaurants, there are also online deals that make the card value over 500 dollars.

It will be mandatory that all players sell at least 12 cards over the next two weeks. Added incentives will be given to players who sell more. We feel this is an excellent opportunity to attach our vision of connecting the community to the game of football. More details will follow, but please support our Stars with this project. Give them ideas on how to sell, and before we say we cannot, let us please find ways to help support this program. Again without a strong effort, the experience will suffer. Thank you for continuing to be the foundation of all that is SCN Football.

CHECK POINT IS MONDAY JULY 17TH

- PLAYERS MUST HAVE 9 SOLD

- ANY MONEY / CHECKS CAN BE TURNED IN AT CHECK POINT WITH LEVEL COACH

- OPEN DONATIONS OF ANY AMOUNT ARE WELCOMED. PLEASE MAKE CHECK OUT

SCN 4TH PHASE PARENT GROUP

Our resources are depleted, and our stars need your help. We are asking each family to pick up one of the following items below and have their son or daughter bring it in for July. With over 150 players in our program and 3 hours of camp each day it is essential that we keep our athletes nourished and hydrated. Please do your part and donate. We will also be organizing a drop-off date the week of July 10th for bigger orders. Thank you in advance.

• Granola bars

• Uncrustables

• Chocolate Milk

• Gatorade

• Recovery Shake

• Drop off: contact Danielle Taormina (scn4thphase@gmail.com or Coach Pomazak robert.pomazak@d303.org

Our program must be the most represented in all of athletics. Our parents raised over 3,000 dollars for our program this past year because of their volunteering efforts for our boosters. Please consider volunteering for these great opportunities. The boosters group is an all-athletics group that creates opportunities for all sports. Additionally, our 4th Phase desperately needs concessions and other positions filled ASAP. If we do not supply the posts, it will directly impact your child's experience in our program. With out the support of every person, we cannot run the program at the capacity it has been used to. If we do not get the help in the coming weeks, we will have to restructure areas of our program which is not ideal.
