Sturgis volleyball players will be sporting their pink tonight as they honor Jamie VanDervoort, wife of Reed and mother of five. Jamie fought a brave, faithful, and grace-filled battle with breast cancer and passed on 7/11/24. Reed and Jamie's twins, Roan and Bryndle, are first graders here at Piedmont Valley Elementary. Reed and Jamie are both graduates of Sturgis Brown High School and their niece is Erin Shaw, a Sturgis Volleyball team member. We are so grateful for this loving family and the opportunity to come beside them and honor Jamie. We love you VanDervoort family!

It can't be 2024 without a selfie!
