From Administration
With basketball and soccer season upon us, please review our Parent/Spectator Expectations at MidSun during School Sporting/Athletic Events.
Parent/Spectator Expectations at MidSun School Sporting/Athletic Events
Here are a few guidelines to ensure a positive environment at our school sporting events:
- Relieve pressure, don’t increase it. Our young athletes already face enough pressure from competition. Let them enjoy their experience without added stress.
- Let the athletes have their moment. The athletic experience belongs to them. Cheer for their effort but allow them to grow through their own performance.
- Respect the judgment of officials and coaches. Their decisions may not always align with your perspective, but it’s important to demonstrate respect for their role and maintain control.
- Show sportsmanship in all outcomes. Win with humility and lose with dignity. Your attitude in both moments is just as important as the final score.
Fun Lunch (Healthy Hunger) will be returning to MidSun in October!
Dates will be sent to parents in our School Messenger this week!
