Well done Rose and Sydney!

"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory."

Motto engraved on the wall of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska by Hartley Burr Alexander, Philosophy Professor says a lot about the game of football. Last Friday night the Mission football team came up short, but played like champions. I shot a few photos to share...


Get'em next time Bulldogs!

Bleacher Repair

Mr. Young and his shop classes have been repairing the bleachers for this year's football games. A number of students and Mr. Young have worked very hard to make your presence at our games enjoyable and safe.

I hope everyone is able to attend our first home football game here in Mission on Friday, September 9, 2011. Your attendance and participation as a student supporter is the home court advantage that makes a difference. Game time: 7:00 PM.

See you at the game. Go Bulldogs!

T.E.A. Party

The Targeted Enrichment Activity (TEA) group led by their teacher Susan Batiuchok worked to clean up the sidewalks of Mission and enhance school pride by painting bulldog paw prints outside the elementary school. The prints certainly add color and school spirit. It's just another way of extending home court advantage to everyone.

Well done elementary students and Mrs. Batiuchok!

Now that's HCA Baby!

Opening 2011 Football - WE WIN!

Opening kick off return.

The Bulldog football team traveled to Plains on Friday night. It was a great outing. Mission won 41-0. We had a number of fans make the trip to cheer on the team. The players were equal to the task and started the year with a win.

I took a few pictures to share. There are a lot of "firsts" to start out the 2011 season included in the photos!

ON THE BLEACHERS

Visit the blog On the Bleachers. Brandon Hansen does an excellent job covering our students. I am always glad to see him in our gym or on the field. He has a tremendous understanding of sports and a great eye for framing up the action. His blog features regional school sports schedules and rosters. His photography speaks for itself.

You make a difference!
