Stars Family,

The second semester is underway, and the Stars are off and running. Returning to school is always a bit challenging for all parties included. Whether you are a teacher or a student, adjusting to the early alarms and new schedule certainly takes some time.

In last week's edition, I wrote about the importance of our North Star Mentality. If we refer to them as The beliefs that win and the behaviors we are working daily to exhibit. . One of my missions is that every time I am in front of our players, I seize that moment to teach about our program. This past week our program took the opportunity to focus on the first of 5 values, the value of leadership. We spent the first 15 minutes of our training sessions discussing leadership each day. Here are some of the takeaways.

* leadership is hard. It is the road less traveled.

* because it is the road less traveled, it can be lonely.

* leadership begins with owning your 20 square feet

* leadership and followership both take an equal amount of courage

* without courageous followers, there can not be leadership

* leadership with followership can create a movement

* When your best players are your best leaders, that is special

* leadership is not quiet; you must connect and communicate.

* leadership in life is a personal journey that is not linear. It will require perseverance through highs and lows.

I will leave you with this; as you can see, our kids know something about what leadership takes and are committed to making t happen with them first. I encourage your family to discuss leadership and how it impacts your family. The program's goal is to connect us all with a foundation of beliefs that align with our common purpose.

Week Plan

* No lifting on Monday due to nonattendance day, lift has been rescheduled for Wednesday

Special Events

* THURSDAY FUTURE FRESHMAN ATHLETICS / ACTIVITIES NIGHT

This past Thursday, the Stars football program participated in the Future Freshman Activities and Athletics Night. Thank you to the players who made the evening so special. It was a great time with over 65 incoming freshman touching base with the program to learn about becoming a star. In case you missed the event, the flyers are attached below.

Any player/family interested in joing the Stars football program should scan and complete this interest form. It will allow us to create mailing lists directed to our incoming families. Thank you

The NCAA D1 FBS contact period has started. That means colleges can schedule times to visit with the 2024 recruits. In the coming weeks, we will have an excellent opportunity to get our players in front of some of the best and brightest colleges in the country. Our protocol for college visits is as follows.

1. Coach Pomazak emails administration scheduled visits for the coming day, including which students have been asked to attend by visiting college coach.

2. Students will receive a pass before the scheduled visit.

3. Students will only have 15 minutes to visit. This will help limit the loss of instructional time.

4. If students have any assessments during the visit, they are not permitted to come.

5. Teachers have the right to ask students not to leave class.

6. Students should refrain from missing the same class twice a row.

Congratulations to Henry Warsaw on his commitment to Division 2 Minnesota State Mankato. Henry will join former Star Jordan Bergren '14 as the only two players to attend this storied program. Minnesota State played for the division 2 national championship in 2019

DUKANE CONFERENCE CHAMPION 7-0

DREW SURGES 1S TEAM 7A ALL-STATE

11 STARS NAMED ALL CONFERENCE

We try to stay connected all year in the St. Charles North Football program. When our winter sports athletes compete for the Stars, those not in season work in the weight room and gyms. It is an excellent opportunity to build relationships away from the football field. Each week culminates with an Elite Leader being named. The best part of the award is that the player from the week prior is the one who names the recipient. It is an extraordinary moment when our players highlight each other. I am excited to see who gets the opportunity to be called an "Elite Leader" this off-season.

Gabe exemplifies the word leadership in all that he does. Gabe strives to be the best version of himself in the classroom, weight room, and on the field. This past week, Gabe took the leadership risk and helped prepare his teammates for the upcoming season. He is a true ELITE LEADER. Congrats Gabe!
