It has been a great start to volleyball practice this week. These girls have had 5 practices so far with 3 more to go and are giving tremendous effort!! What has impressed me most is their love for their teammates!! FYI - today was Hawaiian/summer-
themed Day!! Coaches don't always wear dresses to practice. 😂💜🏐💜

Happy 1st day to all of our CLJMS students and staff! Enjoy every moment, and have a great year! 💜
