SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS:

Field Expansion... I wanted to keep you all up to date with all that is happening with the field extension project. If you have been on campus, you will have noticed that there are no longer any trees between the parking lot and the soccer field... it certainly adds a new look to that part of our campus.

Whitaker Electric and Georgia Power finished moving the electrical units at that end of the field. We have gotten through everything so far without any major glitches. We continue to pray that they entire project will go smoothly.

Currently, Abacare is installing drainage, excavating and landscaping the area and then will install the sod for the final product.

Eric Newbrey has been doing an outstanding job working with all of these contractors during this process in addition to his normal duties. I am so thankful for him and the expertise that he brings to working through a project like this. Make sure that you express your appreciation to his oversight of this rather large endeavor. I know he has quite a few tasks on his plate for this summer in preparing the school for the 2010-11 school year.

For more photos of the ongoing expansion project, visit our album on Facebook.

Playoffs . . . The varsity girls soccer team won their state quarterfinal game against Pinecrest Academy 6-1. They now head to the GISA State Semifinal on Thursday where they will take on FPD at 5 p.m. in a rematch of last year’s championship game. All final four games will be hosted by Mount de Sales Academy in Macon.

Middle School Sports - Season Change . . . effective for the 2010-11 school year, middle school Golf and Tennis will move to the fall, meaning that students will have the choice football, cross country, cheerleading, golf and tennis in which to participate. This was a CSRA league decision, unanimously voted on by Athletic Directors in the league. For more information, feel free to contact Coach Freace.

Booster Club . . . The Booster Club is already making plans for our first full football season! It will be very exciting to watch our Wildcats take the field this fall as varsity football debuts at Westminster! We are looking to provide a full menu for tailgating, including hot dogs and hamburgers cooked on the grill onsite. In order to make this a reality, we will need many volunteers. If you would be willing to help with the grilling, please email Rhonda Barinowski (rhondabarinowski@bellsouth.net), Sandra Hearon (sanhearon@gmail.com), or Carolyn Holgate (CHolgate@duramedmedical.com) to volunteer.
