1st PARENT LIKE A CHAMPION TODAY - ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI HOSTS

A sincere thank you to the parish/school community of St. Francis of Assisi for hosting our first Parent Like A Champion training last night from 7-8:30pm. Kati Skeltis, Athletic Director, did a lot of the work preparing the community for the evening. The session was strategically timed during the junior high youth ministry time at the parish so it encouraged families to drop their youth off and come over. A strong turnout of over 30 parents and grandparents were treated to great hospitality by the welcoming crew at the door and the food and beverages catered by Mick Kelly's Irish Pub were enjoyed throughout the evening.

The training, led by CYO Athletics Staff Scott Bailey, Ross Brownell, Clint Richardson and Tauno Latvala with additional support by St. Francis AD Kati Skeltis was well received by the group. A good conversation was had during the training and afterwards in some Q&A time between the trainers and participants. We are pleased that the training was found to be so worthwhile for the group.
