Bobcats Basketball Highlight...
a game WINNING Half Court shot!!!
Did anyone happen to see ABC15 Morning news where one of our very own Bobcats, 7th grader Rylan Milks, was highlighted for his game winning, final second, HALF COURT SHOT (actually longer than half court!) that gave our Bobcats the VICTORY over Terramar!?!? It was amazing! If you missed the excitement you can relive the moment as you view the clip below. (*Disclaimer: this isn't the actual news footage, but this home video gives you a much clearer shot of the action*)
Join us for the next home game. You never know what is going to happen!

Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA):
If your child is in grades 6-8 and an athlete, whether it is on a recreation team, Sonoran Foothills team, club team, etc and has an interest in learning how the Bible can have an impact on success in athletics, encourage him/her to come join the FCA Huddle on Friday, April 5th at 8:00 in Mrs. Mordka's room. If you have questions, please contact either Mrs. Mordka or Mrs. Johnson
Our motto for this week is:
I look for solutions, not blame.
Many students confuse complaining and blaming with problem-solving. When students seek blame rather than solutions, they can diminish their accountability, strain their relationships, and reduce their ability to problem-solve.
We all want our kids to become strong problem solvers, and we can help them develop the skills they need by teaching them the difference between being stuck in the problem vs. searching for solutions.
When people are stuck in the problem, they:
•Focus on what has already happened.
•Look for people to blame and ask, "Who did this?"
•Complain about what isn't working rather than finding ways to improve it.
When people are searching for the solution, they:
•Focus on what needs to happen next.
•Look for solutions and ask, "How can this be fixed?"
•Spend time making improvements rather than blaming and complaining.
By discussing the above differences with your child now, you can help them avoid forming these unhelpful habits.
"There is no use talking about the problem unless you talk about the solution."
-Betty Williams
Have a great week,
