football

While sports offer students the ability to develop and excel physically by pushing their minds and bodies, they also allow the opportunity for student athletes to develop a strength of character…something that carries them well into the future. Our GMS football teams had such an opportunity recently during a game in October. When a member of the opposing team was injured and the game stopped, our players responded with “sportsmanship, patience, support, and a lot of class” while the injured player was given aide, according to the athletic director of the opposing team. 8th grader, Jon Ellis, was involved in helping the injured player and was especially concerned and reached out for updates. Thank you, football players and coaches, for demonstrating what really matters on and off the field!
