*We supporters of student athletes appreciate, in advance, your generous donation to your campus’, a campus near you, 2025-2026 Athletic Fundraiser. Please forward this link https://share.teamfunded.com/54VmD7GmXHmHMpqr8 or your school’s link to potential donors in your network.
And, on behalf of the students and coaches, Thank You! ( I have more than one student athlete in my math class this year, that could take over the speaking responsibilities of the teacher, if needed. Wow, these kids are that good! And, several are already glowing on the court/field and it’s barely September 1st, as I write this comment.) Also, I’m very blessed to have met the water boys and girls of a couple of teams, the managers, and one of them, from another school from mine, already knows that they want to be a neurosurgeon, largely duty to the fact that their family member is recovering from treatment.
We are encouraging them that they are more than just “only a water-boy”. Did they know that they could earn a full-scholarship from being a team manager or water-person?? I did not know this either, until my former principal shared that when they were a coach, they assisted their team manager(s) in securing a full scholarship(s) for being an excellent athletic trainer/manager/water-person! Wow!
Let’s go! Let’s Groooow! Accelerate this #Aldinestory Thank you Superintendent Dr. Goffney and School Board of Aldine ISD 9-1-2025 Happy Labor Day! (No days off coach?) 100% every day???
