Wear Green Ribbons to Support the Louisa Lions



     We are looking forward to hosting this weekend's AHS Invitational and we are very pleased that you are coming.  As you know, Louisa County was significantly impacted by the recent earthquake. The earthquake caused such extensive damage to the high school that the high school students and middle school students are having to share the middle school building by attending school for lengthy alternating days. The effects of the earthquake caused many challenging repercussions on their community. As a local cross country program, we cannot help but be greatly impressed by the dedication and persistence of Louisa's cross country team members to overcome the challenges caused by the earthquake, which have included overcoming injuries from the earthquake and shifting the start of all practices to late in the evening in order to accommodate their adjusted school schedule. We would like to encourage all the athletes and fans attending the AHS Invitational this weekend to show that we are all impressed by the Louisa Lions' dedication and heart by wearing a green ribbon.  Therefore, we welcome and encourage the athletes to each wear a green ribbon, such as a green ribbon tied around a ponytail or around the top shoulder strap of the singlet, to demonstrate how impressed we are by Louisa's cross country team's integrity. We look forward to seeing you all this weekend!
Thank you!

We have an opportunity to help the program....
 
Stationary bike needed -
Both Cathy and Buz have indicated that we are in need of another bicycle for cross training / injury workouts at the Farm. One or two are in poor order, and sometimes there are more kids needing a bike than there are bikes.
We plan to have a shoebox at the concession area Saturday for anyone who would like to donate for this.
We are told funds for this don't come from AHS athletic department.
Thanks, again!
