Hello All~
I wanted to take a moment to congratulate all the skaters on such an amazing job this weekend! Wow is all I can say! I am so very proud of each and every one of you. Skating is filled with so many life lessons; the value of hard work, of perseverance, of grit, of courage, of determination, and of teamwork. It teaches respect, responsibility and integrity. This season has been hard and difficult with CoVid, but you all kept practicing, kept getting up when you fell and kept encouraging each other. You have taken the life lessons skating teaches and put them into practice. I could not be more proud! I enjoyed watching each of you grow this season. And I loved watching you show off all you learned during show. This was the show that almost wasn't, but you did it. I hope you made memories that will last a lifetime!
I also want to say Thank You. Thank you to the board members and all the parents in our club who helped make this show a reality for the kids. Their faces though covered could not hide the joy they had when performing this weekend. Thank you to the board members who applied for grants to help find the financial means for this show. Thank you to the parents who spent hours creating programs, working on props, sewing costumes, sewing sequins, cleaning locker rooms, setting up the backdrop and taking the whole thing down. Thank you to the parents who cheered the skaters on in the stands. Thank you to the parents who helped take tickets, ushered, washed costumes, and were backstage moms. Thank you to the coaches who volunteered this week to help the kids behind the scenes. Thank you to the lighting crew and the ways and means table. Thank you to everyone (parents, grandparents, alumni, etc.) for all that you did to help these kids have a moment to shine in this difficult time of CoVid. It is truly awe inspiring to see what a village can do when they come together. I say it every year at the end of show and this year it has never rung truer....TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! I am so incredibly thankful for this club of givers. I am blessed by you all! Thank you for making Ice Classics 2021: Iconic a success for the kids. They needed this show. We needed this show! And now we can all take a much needed rest with a full and happy heart.
Yours in Skating~
Coach Christy
