Weekly eNews: January 17, 2019
Dear FIRSTNAME,
At the heart of the mission of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary has always been service to others, and as an SNJM school, our focus is to instill in our students that same dedication to serving those in need. As part of this initiative, one of our head soccer coaches has been working to develop a community service project where our Academy athletes have the opportunity to participate in team-wide service work. This year, our JV and varsity soccer teams have elected for their service to be dedicated to Jackie Faircloth and her family.
Jackie's name may be familiar to many of you. During Jackie's senior year at Plant High School she was struck by a car while visiting Florida State University, and has since been recovering from this devastating accident. This was something that effected many of our students, as there were, and still are, a number of ties to Jackie and her family within our AHN community.
Tomorrow, January 18th, our soccer teams will be dedicating their games to Jackie and each AHN player will wear the letters PFJ (Pray for Jackie) on an armband as a reminder to play and pray for Jackie and all of the residents at Sabal Palms Pediatric Rehabilitation Center. Jackie's parents will be in attendance of the games and we hope that many of you will also join us in support. The JV game starts at 5:00 p.m. and the Varsity game starts at 6:30 p.m.
Sincerely,
Art Raimo
President
