Leader in Me News
We had so much to celebrate at our May Leader in Me assembly! We recognized our current Lighthouse Teams, incoming ones, leaders of the month, family bingo winner, and all of our spring sports participants. We learned from skits for habits 7 Sharpen The Saw and 8 Find Your Voice and help others find theirs.
What’s the Lighthouse Team? Members are selected through an application and interview process to be on these leadership teams for middle and high school. We have many worthy candidates each year, and it is an honor to be considered or chosen for this leadership role!
2024-2025 middle school lighthouse team
Thank you to this year's lighthouse team for all their hard work.

Volunteers are needed!
We are looking for volunteers to help with gate admissions and concessions for this season’s baseball and softball junior high and high school home games. If you have one child participating, we ask that you sign-up for two slots. If you have more than one child participating, we ask that you sign-up for two slots per child. Please know if you prefer to share a block with another family, and split between a varsity and JV game, please do; we just ask that you sign up for the number of slots to equate to meeting the required slots per child.
We will be reviewing the rosters as well to ensure all families have signed up and will be sending out reminders to those families specifically who do not sign-up prior to the season start; please don’t wait to sign-up. We appreciate your ongoing time and talent in supporting one of our largest fundraisers for our programs!
To sign-up, please click HERE.
We also have 3 slots for the baseball tournament on Saturday, May 18th. Please consider volunteering a couple hours to help with gate or concessions.
Volunteers can sign-up HERE.
Thank you for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated! Go Dons!
