Community Giving Funds Athletics Uniforms, New Gym Floor
Head to toe matching uniforms? You’ve got the look, ISDenver athletics!
Thanks to Community Giving, all our athletes are decked out in the gear that shows off our school at its best. “Not only are all uniform pieces matched, each is specifically designed for the specific sport,” explains coach and Athletic Director Nick McFarlane. “Head to toe matching gear makes the students more excited to play and to represent our school,” he adds. “They look professional and it helps to raise expectations and standards. You can tell they are all proud to play for ISDenver.”
Nick goes on to say, “Other things fall into place because the athletes are expected to wear their proper uniforms. There is more discipline, more listening to directions, more teamwork.”
Also contributing to this spirit of winning at ISDenver is the gym floor, which was painted and refinished before the start of the school year in 2018. “It adds to our school spirit, to the excitement of competition, and it’s even in our school colors,” enthuses Nick. The floor, an expense to maintain, is also a result of your Community Giving, so every time your child pounds across it on the way to a score or smashes an overhead in volleyball or just sits during a music concert, it’s all because of your generosity in putting those dollars to work! Thank you for your support!
