The Whippet Volleyball program honored some very special people in our lives – our parents and caregivers – on Thursday, September 25. Senior Danika Larson led the welcome and shared how much our families mean to us. The amount of care and love they show each of us is something we cherish. From bus food and snacks to rides and support- we thank them!
After honoring our parents and caregivers, Freshman Jasmine Kilar honored her brother, Treyton Kilar, who was killed in 2010 by a drunk driver. The Volleyball team in 2010, led by Gina (Hollingshead) Serna initiated the now 15 year running “Play for Trey” event to remind us all to make good decisions, even if we are standing alone. Jasmine highlighted the importance of cherishing life, giving love to all you meet, being grateful, not taking anything for granted, and always making good choices- as it could save someone’s life.
The athletes then took on the visiting Delavan-Darien team.
