2008-2009 Report

On behalf of Sr. Catherine, the faculty, and the staff of St. Linus school I would like to extend my thanks, appreciation and gratitude to all of the parents and students who participated in the Athletics Program for the 2008-2009 school year.

I am proud to say that St. Linus School has maintained a successful and competitive year in C.Y.O. league play, tournaments, and playoffs.
As always, our Girl’s A Volleyball, Basketball and Softball teams all enjoyed great seasons and again made playoffs.

Our Boy’s A program however was not as successful, only making the playoffs in Basketball. We look forward to working harder to make the 2009-2010 season more successful.

I would also like to extend a special Thank You to the parents who committed their time and efforts on this year’s Sports Committee. With your help, we were able to run 2 volleyball tournaments, 2 basketball tournaments, and we were also able to provide dinner for our Sports Awards Banquet. These events generated much of the funding we needed to run a successful Athletics Program.

As a first time Athletic Director for St. Linus School, I was surprised to learn that the operating budget for our Athletics Program was over $22,000 dollars. However, with the hard work of the Sports Committee and the strong support of you the parents, we were able to raise over $25,000 for the 2008-2009 school year.

This amount includes all of our expenses to date, as well as the Sports Scholarships, Sports Award Banquet, and new football Jerseys for the B Team.

Thank you for all of your hard work this year!
- Mr. Han
