And, that’s a wrap on this year! What you may not have know was that our grassroots, Sports Media group put together and helped operate the graduation livestream that was on the Mid Valley Athletics YouTube Channel this evening! This live stream was the first of its kind for the district as we attempted to deliver a livestream similar to what you see at a college or university graduation.

While projects for next year are currently unknown, this group of students has done what no other students in the history of Mid Valley have ever done in just one year. Putting together the first ever Media Day for a program, bringing back the Spirit Week senior slideshow, coverage of events that have never been covered before, live streaming graduation to the extent of a semi-professional production, and putting together the first ever Mid Valley Athletics Award Show! So much accomplished in just a very short amount of time!

To our newest Seniors in the group, your turn.

It has been a great year! Have a great summer everyone!

So, let’s talk about last night…

At the beginning of the school year, the grassroots Sports Media group consisted of only three students. Over the course of the year more and more students found interest in what we were trying to accomplish, be the marketing arm of the athletic department and create content that no other school in the area was doing.

Fast forward to last night, 11 students put on what may have been impossible 12 mouths ago and put on the first ever Athletics Awards Night for Mid Valley! 15 students won awards over the course of the night in 20 different categories, all voted on by their peers.

We want to thank the parents, coaches, and especially the student-athletes for making last night possible. Without of the accomplishments of our student-athletes throughout the year, last night would not have been possible.

Two extra special thanks yous are in order. Thank you to Mr. Brian Kaufman, his family, and the Live For Me Foundation for being in attendance last night and Mr. Kaufman for being our keynote speaker and delivering a powerful speech that no one in the audience will ever forget. Finally, we want to thank our athletic director and athletic trainer, Tom Nowakowski. Without his support and his ability to give us the freedom to deliver content that our teams and programs deserve, none of this would not have been possible.

This group still has one more BIG project left and we can’t wait for you to see it!

Thank you all in attendance and watching at home last night!
