5/1
Mason McKinnon - GMS Baseball
Mason is a 7th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Baseball Team. The MS Baseball Team has been improving all season and Mason has been one of the biggest reasons for that. Playing the hardest position on the field, he has caught every game this year. Mason has fought through some nagging knee pain for the majority of the season, but has never once complained and is consistently doing a great job. He had some clutch hits early this week against Fort and really improved behind the plate as the season has progressed.
Claire Warf - GMS Softball
Claire is a 7th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Softball Team. The MS Softball Team has been improving all season and Claire has been one of the biggest reasons for that. Claire has been willing to do whatever it takes to help the team and has been the definition of a utility player. This week alone, she played multiple defensive positions all over the field, including pitching a great game against Grayson. She helped on offense too, finding her way on base multiple times, scoring several runs.

Lifeguards
Teachers and Staff - a sheet has been shared with you that includes the names of students who are playing fall sports, their grade level, their coach, and their coach's contact info. If you feel contacting a coach about a student-athlete's behavior or performance in the classroom is necessary, please don't hesitate to do so. There has also been a gate duty sign-up sheet shared with you for the school year. If you work 4 gates, you earn a family pass or CYOW. If you work 8 gates, you get both!
Coaches - Please submit summaries and pictures of teams and/or individuals to georgeedmondson@galaxschools.us so that we can recognize those accomplishments. Please continue to not allow any student athletes to participate in games/meets/matches until they turn in their signed handbook page. In addition, please do not allow them to participate in any activity (practice or play) until you have a copy of their current VHSL physical.
Parents - Please return the signed athletic handbook form as soon as possible so we can get these student athletes on the court/field with their teams to wash out the competition. Please let us know if your student-athlete has participated and/or excelled in any athletics outside of school that we can recognize.
