ELITE RAPTORS ALERT: I often times talk with friends and colleagues about the many special accomplishments that our kids achieve. I truly believe we are different. Raptor nation isn't perfect but it is our continued efforts to become better each and everyday. It's the process and belief that we are going to be the best versions of ourselves. Another example came across my desk this morning that Raptor Nation needs to be aware of. The Dance Marathon group set a goal to raise $3,000 dollars to donate towards the University of Iowa Cancer Research. Today, we are sending $6,156.29 to that organization as a result of the efforts from the dance marathon. Another example of OUR communities rallying around OUR kids for a greater cause. It's easy to see ELITE when it is on display at a game or match or competition, but it doesn't stop there. CONGRATULATIONS to the students and leaders who took part in the marathon and gave another example of being ELITE! #CLAWS UP! #BeELITE!
