6 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 2016 Soccer Clockwise from left: Siuslaw Youth Soccer Association’s board of directors and volunteers; an athlete shoots toward a new goal at Miller Park; and Justin Linton thanks Chuck Trent and Mayor Joe Henry. from 1A “The No. 1 thing Boys and Girls Club said to us was to make sure that no boy or girl is left behind,” Linton said. “To help in that, they have offered to donate some funds for schol- arships.” Trent presented $500 to SYSA for scholarships. “We would like to make sure that everybody in the commu- nity understands how much we support you and stand behind you,” he said. “We want to help you in any way we can and say thank you for all that you do.” SYSA’s active board has worked throughout the summer to get the association ready for the fall soccer season. Attendance from 1A During the last year of his two-year tenure at Yamhill Carlton, the district saw its non-chronically absent inter- mediate school attendance numbers for students attending 90 percent of school days or more increase from 81 percent to 88.5 percent. “We had the process in place the year before and the number only moved by two percent,” Ulrich said. “Then we got more aggressive and it moved up an additional seven percent. You have to create that culture and that takes time.” Ulrich believes that devel- oping better attendance starts with creating a culture that places an emphasis on only being absent when it is absolutely necessary. He con- cedes that this takes time. “Oregon, statewide, has had pretty abysmal attendance,” Ulrich said. “To improve the attendance district wide is one of Superintendent Andy Grzeskowiak’s goals. I can help improve it.” Ulrich has multi-genera- tional ties to Florence and the Siuslaw School District. Trent said, “You have a tremendous board and group of people who are passionate and love these kids as much as we do at the Boys and Girls Club. You’re really fortunate with them. And Cameron is my new best friend.” Youth registration closes Sept. 9 and the season begins the week of Sept. 12. For more information, go to www.siuslawsoccer.com. “My father graduated from Siuslaw and my grandfather and grandmother taught here,” he said. “My grandfather also was a principal here for one or two years.” Ulrich first met Grzeskowiak when he was stu- dent teaching. “I met Leonard many years ago when he was doing his student teaching at Siuslaw High School,” Grzeskowiak said. “He even did a short rotation in my classroom. He showed great communication and interpersonal skills even back then as a student teacher.” He added, “He has served as a dean of students and assistant principal in other dis- tricts. Beyond his impressive resume and interview, every recommendation was glowing. Leonard will be a great addi- tion to the Siuslaw School District team.” Ulrich and his wife Lindsay have two children, a daughter who will be entering first grade and a son beginning sixth grade. “During the interview I said I have been trying to move to Florence since the fifth grade and now that I’m almost 40, I finally did it,” Ulrich said.
