PHILOSOPHY:
“So whether you eat or
drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (I Corinthian 10:31)
The athletic program of St.
Paul's Lutheran School exists to give children, regardless
of sex, creed, or race, another opportunity to honor their
Lord and Savior as they learn and practice important values
and principles of life such as cooperation, discipline,
fairness and hard work. The athletic program also exists to
develop the overall athleticism of children as they learn
the basic fundamentals of their given sports,
noting that our school places a priority on academic
development, followed by other “extracurricular”
experiences, including athletics.”
The athletic program of St.
Paul's Lutheran School is not a separate entity of the
school community. Rather, it is an extension of the school,
useful in developing the values, principles and beliefs
stated or implied in the school’s mission statement. A
shared partnership between teachers, administrators,
coaches, parents and athletes is expected, ensuring the St.
Paul's Lutheran School experience to be a beneficial link in
the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual
development of all participants. |
