Everyone was up early this morning very excited to be headed off to school, with summer vacation finally at an end. Derek was especially excited, commenting many times on how long the summer vacation was ;)

Big game tonight against Satellite High, with the Wildcats being the visiting team. This was big because the majority of Danny's 'Club' team play for Satellite High, so there are lots of familiar faces out there!
Unfortunately the Wildcats came up just a little short, loosing in the last seconds by a score of 2-1. Satellite High is supposed to be one of the better teams though, so for us to keep it this close is a win in itself.
Also, Danny scored his second goal of the season early, giving the Wildcats a 1-0 lead until late in the game.
Here is what the coach had to say about the game...
"Even though the score was not in our favor, I believe you guys won, you all won the applause of the public (your parents and friends) who were watching the game, you guys won the people's sympathy and their cheers."
Devin came home this week with not one 'Superior' Chorus award but 2 of them! One for her solo and one for her ensemble. Congrats Devin!
Danny's team played against a tough Titusville team this evening in Titusville. They play on the Football field so it's a pretty big stadium, our first game in a stadium like that. The West Shore Wildcats prevailed 2-1 on a winning goal by our own Danny Dolnik! Way to go Danny!
Devin graduated tonight from Ocean Breeze Elementary. She was also the recipient of the schools only Chamber of Commerce Award.
Congratulations on all your hard work Devin!

Congratulations Danny on receiving the Principal's award last night for maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA in your 2 years of middle school! It's nice to see all your hard work pay off. Great job!
