But this is a good story!

Good story!

It would be a nice gesture, as well, if the kids would go back later in the year and invite some of these folks to a game.

I Don't know if they cancelled a lifting session, but I think Kirtland's players did the same type of thing.

Good job coach. Life lessons are the best part of high school sports.

Pretty standard, as most school weight rooms are closed when school is closed, thus shoveling snow becomes the suggested workout.

I told my 4th graders last Thursday (no school Friday) that a storm was coming on Monday and they should help out someone with their driveway. Had a snow day today so I will find out tomorrow if anyone helped out.
