Disney Bound!


The Pardoe family heads to Orlando, Florida on Saturday to spend the week at Disney. My daughter, Mallory, 5, is getting pretty excited for the trip. My boys are too. They aren't very excited about flying there though. Hopefully the weather cooperates as we make every attempt to tackle many activities and visits during the 6 day stay. My wife and I will need to come home to rest. Looking forward to the trip.

Roni Season Complete


The u10 Roni team I coach completed the spring season yesterday. Our record was 4-5. We had trouble scoring at times throughout the course of the eight game season but it was fun being with this great group of kids. We are already getting ready in establishing our fall team.

I just wanted to congratulate all of our 8th students with regard to our moving up day ceremony. The 8th grade team of teachers ensured that you were prepared for this ceremony. It was a pleasure congratulating all of you as you crossover to the WAHS. AGC wishes you the very best as you begin the next 2 million minutes of your scholastic academic career.
