Katherine Whitman - GMS Track and Field
Katherine is a 7th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Track and Field Team. The MS Track Team has been improving all season and Katherine has played a big part in that. She showed up at the beginning of the season ready to work. She broke PR's over and over again this season as a distance runner and proved to be an asset for her relay team. She has been a great example of sportsmanship, effort, and humility, both at practice and at meets.
Ayden Lay - GMS Soccer
Ayden is a 7th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Soccer Team. The MS Soccer Team has been blanking opponents all season and Ayden has played a big part in that. He had another clean sheet earlier in the week, and even in a late week loss, he still collected 37 saves. Ayden has been consistent and a rock for the team all year, hustling and giving everything to protect the goal.
Maddy Richardson - GMS Softball
Maddy is a 6th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Softball Team. The MS Softball Team collected a big win on Monday and Maddy played a big part in that. She has really stepped up as a 6th grader, always listening to directions and working hard to make changes for fast improvement. Her bat has really come alive, as she collected multiple hits and RBIs this week.
Dorian Bond - GMS Track and Field
Dorian is an 8th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Track and Field Team. The MS Track Team has been improving all season and Dorian has played a big part in that.

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.
