8.4.2. ** Emergency Addition to the Agenda - Pending Board Approval - Consideration of Blair VB Club
Rationale:
Mary Policky owns the local Blair Volleyball Club and is hoping the school board would allow Sunday Bear Cub Volleyball training sessions. Mary would pay the gym fees and provide the staff through her club and Coach Lansman would promote it to our youth and attend so she could help coach the girls.
The request is for six (6) Sundays starting Oct 19th-Nov 23rd from 1-3 pm. 1st- 6th graders would be the age groups. They did this two years ago and it was amazing as they had over 80 youth athletes in attendance. Since starting Bear Cubs, they have seen an amazing growth with their numbers and skills these past two years and can't wait to see how investing in our youth will pay off when they get to high school. I have attached a flyer to this email. Please feel free to contact Dr. Gilson at 402-999-6224 for any questions or concerns.
