The middle school was able to have a volleyball team for the girls after a one year hiatus. The team consisted
of girls from 4th through 8th grade. The 8th graders, Briana Robertson and Rylee Kannenman, provided
leadership for the team. Sixth graders, Keisha Payne, Erica Her, and Lucero Uriostegui are the future leaders
for the Firebirds volleyball team. Fourth and Fifth graders worked hard and made significant improvements
during the season. The team played only 4 games, losing all games but the scores were close. The team was
coached by Brian Lievens with Amy Dignan assisting.

had a growing and learning year.

was no exception even with it raining on and off all day

Turbo Javelin and the Long Jump. Andy Coppola took
third place in the Turbo Javelin and fourth place in the
100 Meter Run. Rounding out the Turbo Javelin medals
was Brandaun Carter in fourth place to give WSD all the
medals in that even Є
