The TSUNAMI "POWA"

As many of you have read in my past blogs I was the 6th-8th grade coach for our co-ed volleyball team.    Pictured above are a couple of my students who came to support the volleyball team for the end of the year tournament.  Thanks to our art teacher and some of the students who put this poster together to show support for the volleyball team.  As many of you know my knowledge of  volleyball is very little and I give the credit and hard work to the team. 

As many of you know my knowledge of  volleyball is very little and I give the credit and hard work to the team.  Above is the Tsunami CHAMPIONSHIP VOLLEYBALL TEAM of 2010.  This was the first year the school has ever won first place.  Our team was noted for the "most improved team."  They really showed their talent and abilities toward the end of the year, so as a coach I was very proud to see them represent Saipan Christian School and Christ with the best of their gifts and talents.

I am really enjoying getting to know the students and the different cultures that are represented here.  Each student brings a different personality and different outlook on things.  It is great to see the melting pot that I am put in and to watch how students don't even look at their culture, color, or ethnicity to compare themselves.  They set aside all differences and treat each situation as a normal situation working together to complete their tasks ahead of them.
