Dear Sibley Families,
As you are aware, this week is Homecoming week for our Albert Lea Tigers. In addition to the fun dress up days that have been organized, we are also using this week as an opportunity to review with our students the importance of good sportsmanship, something often overlooked in the world of competitive sport and school activities. The following are points that we are reviewing and hope you can help reinforce them at home with your child.
- Follow the Rules
- Obey the Officials
- Treat Opponents Respectfully
- Win With Grace
- Lose With Grace
I would also request that you attend Friday’s game, and all high school athletic events, with your children. There have been far too many instances of students attending games unsupervised. Having previously been our district’s Athletic Director for 7 years, I recollect far too many occasions that young children were left waiting for rides after a game, or something happened to them during the event. Please attend with them or send with a responsible adult. It really is a great opportunity to involve them in wonderful school activities and be a motivator for many to someday represent their school and community in an Albert Lea uniform.
On Friday, please do not send or allow your child to come to school with face paint or colored hairspray. It is Cherry and Blue day, so we are encouraging all students to wear something representative of our team’s colors. Paint, colored hair spray, and glitter are items we are asking that you help your child with at home after school and prior to the game. Again, this is something I’d ask parents to supervise and help us with.
Finally, Friday is also our picture day, so all the more reason to keep any “excessive” items in celebration for Homecoming at home.
Thanks for your continued support and understanding. GO TIGERS!
