Volleyball

Archway School is making new inroads into the sports arena. You read earlier in the year about Archway's basketball team, but now it's time to take a peek at an even newer and younger volleyball team.

Archway's Co-ed Volleyball team is coached by Ms. Mel and Mr. Saul. This is a team made up of sixth and seventh graders so they have time to develop into an even more formidble team in the future and I hope to see more of them next year.

I did manage to see them at an away game recently. There was no sign of pre-game jitters as they took the court opposite a Redwood Day team stacked deep and tall.

Archway went down quickly in the first game but just as quickly took command and won the second game. It all came down to the third game in which they slipped too far behind to make a comeback.

Musicians in our Midst

Ms. Jen, our music teacher, is always seeking out new venues to allow Archway's music students to perform. As a result of her vigilance three Archway students were invited to participate in a Summer Recital at St. Paul's School. Avery, Mikayla and Sierra from the second and third grades performed pieces on the piano. I only wish I could have contolled the lighting and had a better camera (it's on my list). The students were delightful and I thought you might enjoy hearing them play if not seeing them clearly.
