Ross Glen Roadrunner Reporter

As we wrap up the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your support, partnership, and enthusiasm throughout the year. It has truly been an amazing year of learning, growth, and community, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

To the families who are moving on to new schools and new adventures—we wish you all the very best. You will be missed, and we hope you carry wonderful memories of your time here.

Wishing all of you a safe, relaxing, and joyful summer break! We look forward to seeing returning families again in the fall.

Have a great summer,

Natosha

At our Athletic Academy, students benefit greatly from engaging in a variety of sports throughout the year. Exploring multiple athletic disciplines enhances physical literacy, builds well-rounded athleticism, and fosters lifelong healthy habits. By participating in a range of sports, students develop transferable skills such as coordination, agility, teamwork, and mental focus—each of which contributes to overall athletic growth and resilience.

Our current spotlight on golf, including disc golf, introduces students to a sport that promotes patience, concentration, and self-discipline. Golf also strengthens fine motor skills, strategic thinking, and emotional regulation. Additionally, it offers a unique blend of individual challenge and social interaction, making it an excellent complement to team-based sports. Exposure to golf provides students with an opportunity to experience a sport they may continue to enjoy recreationally or competitively throughout their lives.

Through varied athletic experiences, including our current golf focus, students are better equipped to discover their passions, build confidence, and pursue lifelong engagement in physical activity.
