One of Olympia's own is featured in the playbills on Broadway this summer! Carin Folkens, a Sophomore at Olympia High School, submitted artwork for a fan art contest and was chosen as a top ten finalist! The contest asked artists to design and submit art for the playbill of the Broadway musical, The Outsiders. All top ten finalists are being showcased in the playbills that are printed for performances on Broadway this summer. What a great achievement, way to go Carin!

Congratulations to Ethan Barnes and Mason Kruger who both competed in the Midwest Golf Showcase hosted at Winding Ridge Golf Club in Indianapolis this past Tuesday. This Showcase takes some of the best golfers from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan and has them compete in a competitive 18 holes match with a chance to make the cut and play a second 18 on Day 2. Ethan was 1 stroke off of making the cut shooting a 79 (+7) and Mason Kruger shot an 85 (+13). Both boys played really well and this upcoming season should be very exciting. Go Spartans!

There’s something special about seeing our gym filled with the next generation of Spartans. Over the past two days, our Little Spartans Volleyball Camp brought together young athletes eager to learn, grow, and have fun. From learning new skills to making new friends, the energy and excitement in the gym was contagious. A special thank you goes to our high school players who volunteered their time to lead, encourage, and invest in these young campers. The relationships built between our current players and future Spartans are what make our volleyball program and community so special. We are grateful for the families who entrusted us with their athletes this week and for everyone who helped make camp a success. The future of Spartan Volleyball is bright, and we can't wait to watch these young athletes continue to grow.

Day 1 of HS Cross Country Camp was a success. This group traveled to Farmdale Reservoir for a 4.5 mile trail run. The weather and scenery were perfect!
