Girls learn life lessons on volleyball court for first time By Glenn Yarbrough My daughter, Amber Yarbrough, played her very first sport this year on the Siletz Valley School Lady Warriors fifth/ sixth-grade volleyball team. This is a very exciting time for a parent to show support, participate and encourage personal goals from start to finish and all the in-betweens. Completion no matter the score, win or lose – it is the knowledge gained on the chosen path that is priceless to undertake. The first game was Oct. 6 and the season will finish up Nov. 3 at the Siletz Rec Center. The ladies played Newport, Waldport, Toledo and Lincoln City. 4 • Siletz News • The ladies won their first game of the season, with most of them taking the court for the first time. All these young ladies are wonder- fully athletic, intelligent and very diligent, thriving not only in games but on the practice court as well. It is a wonderful opportunity to watch their growth, educa- tion and success – and see them rise above and learn from disappointment in losing to opponents. This is very brave of all these young ladies. It must be hard to take the game on the court for the first time in life as a representative and team member. The impact is strong, offering eth- ics and moral strength in several aspects November 2012 of life. Thank you, Coach Tosha and Coach Heather. The smiles, “high fives,” laughs, cheers and teamwork brought me much joy. To my daughter, Amber – I am so proud of you. Not only did you take it upon yourself to try out, you are so eager to go and play, learn and help. You over- came your jitters and nerves and stepped up and out. Remember, “The only stupid question is the one not asked.” Keep up the great work(out)! Set, call, return, serve, spike – just do your best. After all, it’s a game. You all are awesome! I love you, Amber. Congratulations to Miles Case! Siletz Valley School awarded our son, Miles, with Student of the Month honors for September.
