This week let's continue to focus on the powerful message from Sam Demma: "It's time to empty your backpack of the thoughts and opinions of everyone else."
Think about that for a second. How often do we carry around worries about what others think, doubts planted by someone else's words, or expectations that aren't even our own? It's like carrying extra weight that slows us down and keeps us from truly being ourselves and pursuing what matters to us.
This week, let's take on the "Empty Your Backpack Daily Challenge"! Each day, we'll focus on letting go of one thing that's weighing us down. Here's your challenge for today:
Identify one negative thought or self-doubt that you've been carrying around. Acknowledge it, and then consciously decide to let it go for today. Write it down and then symbolically "crumple it up" and toss it away.
A huge shoutout to our Senior Girls Soccer Team who have been absolutely on fire lately!
In league play, the girls took on Wallaceburg and delivered a dominant team performance, securing a convincing victory with every single player contributing to the win.
This momentum carried into two competitive tournaments, where the girls battled hard and showcased their skill and sportsmanship coming up with a third place finish.
Special shoutout to our defensive wall:
Brooke Rocheleau, Carys Evans, Sadie Bear, and Amelia Matthews — these girls held it down in the back and kept the pressure off our net all tournament long!
This week the Lancers take on CKSS
GOOOOO Lancers
