Spring Break 2012

Kicks and Goals

Wooooooooooooooooooo! As many of you know, soccer has started up for this upcoming season. Here are a few quotes from some of the boys and girls who are looking forward to soccer this year. Katelyn in the 6th grade said, I look forward to playing because it is one of the sports that I have wanted to play but havent been able to until they made it available for me to play. Joseph in the 4th grade said, I like it because it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gwyn in the 5th grade answered, I get to have fun and enjoy it with my friends. I also asked Gwyn how long she has played, I have played since preschool, now this is my 7th year playing. I myself am looking forward to this great season of soccer with all of my teammates. I also look forward all the fun we will have! Ready. Go Falcons!!!!!!!!! Ready. Go Falcons!!!!!!!!!
