Sign up and join us for Tuesday Morning Boost!

Sarah Biggie and Leah Eldridge are excited to collaborate and offer a Morning Boost Group that meets on Tuesdays from 7:45–8:15 a.m., before the start of the school day.

This group is designed to provide the students a positive and engaging start to their day through play, connection, and mindfulness activities. The purpose is to create a welcoming space where students can ease into the morning, build meaningful relationships, and strengthen their sense of belonging within the school community.

We hope that participating in Morning Boost will help students start their day feeling grounded, energized, and connected, setting a positive tone that they will carry with them into their classrooms and beyond.

Greetings.

As we move further into our winter sports season, we are incredibly grateful for the energy and passion you bring to every game. Our student-athletes thrive when they feel the support of their community. To ensure we continue to provide the best possible environment for our players, we would like to share a few important reminders regarding spectator behavior and sportsmanship.

To ensure a positive environment for our students, please keep the following expectations in mind:

• Positive Cheering Only: We encourage loud and passionate support for our players, provided it remains respectful and positive.

• Respect the Officials: There is a critical shortage of officials across the state. Please refrain from criticizing or yelling at them so we can continue to staff our games.

• Let Coaches Coach: Spectators should avoid "coaching from the stands." If questions regarding officiating arise, our coaches will handle them through the proper channels during the game.

• Game Stoppage Policy: Please be aware that officials have the authority to stop or suspend a game if they encounter negative spectator interactions.

Thank you for helping us set a high standard for our students and representing SATEC with sportsmanship and pride.

We look forward to seeing everyone out supporting our athletes!

Greetings.

We hope that everyone has been enjoying their Winter Break.
