Congratulations to all our amazing student athletes and performers. The world is a busy, difficult place to be a kid in right now. It is heartening to see so many making the choice to stay active, involved and working to better themselves and their peers.
And with that we roll into Spring sports in Wheat Ridge. During a conversation while attending a Farmers pre-season baseball game, Wheat Ridge Athletic director Jason Campbell stated he has high hopes and real expectations for this years Spring programs. I could not agree more. I have personally witnessed the hard work and dedication our student athletes display every day, at every practice, workout, game, performance and especially in the classroom.
Welcome to Spring and Go Farmers!
