Service Valley Charter Academy

Summer Cross Country 2025 We will meet on Wednesday every week to do some training and team building activities. We will always meet in the park unless I let you know different. We will start the Wednesday after memorial weekend. The date will be May 28. We will meet for an hour between 9:00 and 10:00 in the morning. We will just plan on meeting one day per week for now. If schedules allow, we might start meeting two days a week. No matter how many days we meet, you are still encouraged to run on your own on those days we don’t meet. Below are some websites that you can go and check out some summer camp opportunities. Check them out if you are interested in going to a camp. Participation in summer activities and camps is not mandatory but is encouraged. Memorial day is on May 26. We have been offered the opportunity to help put up the flags at the cemetery and get paid for doing so. I have accepted the offer. Let me know if you will be able to help put up flags on May 26. Some of the money will go to the cross country team to help pay for our trip to Rim Rock this year. In order to receive the money we will need cross country runners to help. If we don’t have runners help then we won’t receive the money. We will need to be there ready to put up flags at 6:30 am and take them down at 5:00 pm. We need to be there for both sessions. lyoncrosscountrycamps.com www.swmorunningcamp.com https://www.facebook.com/swmorunningcamp https://www.instagram.com/swmorunningcamp/ swmorunningcamp@gmail.com We cannot meet the week of June 30 thru July 6 per KSHSAA rules.

On Tuesday, May 27 we will have an archery banquet to recognize all of our archers for the great season they had. The banquet will start at 6:30 and will be held in the cafeteria of the elementary school in Oswego. Please let me know if you will be able to attend so I can get a count of how many will be there. Please bring any archery shirts you have to the banquet to hand in. If you have paid for your shirt you won't need to turn it in. Thank you and we hope to see you on the 27th.

We had 28 archers travel to Louisville, Kentucky May 8th, 9th and 10th. There was 33 states and 877 schools represented in this tournament. It was a tremendous showing for both our elementary team and middle school team. Our elementary team shot their season best scores in bullseye and 3D both. Our middle school team was a little off of their best. They had a very good tournament however. I thought out shooters really stepped up against the best competition we have faced all year. Several qualified for Worlds which was a great accomplishment. The most impressive performance of the day came from Chloe Rhodenbaugh. In the history of our archery program we have never brought home hardware from this tournament. Chloe missed bringing home a medal by one place and one point. Just finishing 6th was a big deal. It would have been a huge accomplishment for her and our program if she could have secured that first medal. I could not be prouder of our archers that performed. It would have been easy for them to feel that they were in over their head with the great competition they faced. We did not do that! We shot just like we were shooting in a local tournament. Great job to all of our Indian archers. You were great representatives of our school and community. These people shot their best scores of the season: Jazlyn Folk 263 BE, Aralynn Tun 261 BE, Oakley Gatton 259 BE, Odalys Santana 257 BE, Bryson Royer 250 BE & 207 3D, Jackson Gilley 249 BE & 228 3D, Stephen House 242 BE, Pateince DeMoss 211 BE, Madison Spencer 209 BE, Allison Becker 198 BE, Kenzie Rion 193 BE, Chloe Rhodenbaugh 279 BE & 289 3D, Matthias Shaw 276 3D, Paris Clifton 248 3D We had two archers shoot perfect round of 50. Chloe Rhodenbaugh shot a 50 in 3D and Michael Varner shot a 50 in bullseye. We also had a record number of archers qualify of the Worlds Championship in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. In order to qualify for the prestigious event elementary archers had to shoot a score of 255 or better, middle school 275 or better. Those scores were for 3D and bullseye both. Those qualifying were Matthias Shaw in both 3D and bullseye, Chloe Rhodenbaugh in both 3D and bullseye, Michael Varner bullseye, Jazlyn Folk bullseye, Aralynn Tun bullseye, Oakley Gatton bullseye and Odalys Santana in both 3D and bullseye Bullseye: Elementary team score of 2934 placed us 66th out of 184 teams.

The money raised from this will go to our archery team to help offset the cost of the trip to Louisville, Kentucky in May. The cost of the meal will be donation only.

We will take the next couple weeks off from archery practice. We are in the process of finding out who all can go to Nationals. When we know who can go we will make plans to start practice up again. Will communicate practice schedule when we find out.

Parents, I am really looking forward to the state tournament tomorrow. I would like to take this time to thank each and every one of you for your continued commitment to the archery program. I sincerely hope you know how much I truly appreciate your willingness to make sure your kids are at these tournaments. I wish all of you safe travels to the tournament. I am really looking forward to the tournament and the opportunity our kids have before them. There will be two booths set up at the tournament. The first one I want to mention is the Kansas Wildlife and Parks booth. The second one is the Kansas BowHunters Association booth. The first one helped write us a grant to help with the purchase of the 3D targets. The second one donated money to help purchase the 3D targets. We would not have been able to purchase them and host a 3D tournament without their help. Please make a point of having your child stop by and thank them for their generosity. I know it would mean a bunch to both of them. Thank you and I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow.

The address for the state archery tournament this Saturday is: Kansas State Fairgrounds, 2000 Poplar Street, Hutchinson, Kansas 67502. They shoot bullseye in the Meadowlark Building and 3D in the Sunflower South Building.
