Heaven Gonzales is our Female Athlete of the Week. Her coaches nominated her because she is the first one on the floor and is already ready to compete. Her attitude is infectious and is a great leader for her teammates. Not only is she awesome on the volleyball court, but she is great in the classroom. We are so proud of you Heaven!!! Keep it up, because we see you! #The Bulldog Way

Each week that athletics are going on, we will name an Athlete of the Week. The coaches nominate the athletes and there will be a female and male athlete named to this distinction each week. The male athlete will be posted on Monday. The awards will be presented at practice, in front of their peers!
The first female athlete of the week is Morgan McLenon. She was nominated by both her coaches for her leadership, her effort and her amazing attitude towards her teammates, especially the girls that are new to tennis. When told of this award, it was incredible the cheers that her teammates gave her. Great job Morgan!! #TheBulldogWay
Coach Marchant and her staff have been working hard on building a positive culture and sense of family for the Independence Middle School volleyball team. She continued with that work tonight as she took the Lady Bulldog volleyball team to watch and cheer on the Independence High School Volleyball team for their beginning of the year scrimmage! Good Luck to Coach Speicher and her ladies this season. This not only helped Coach Marchant educate some of the newer players on the game, but also a great chance to give them a chance to see where they will be in a year or two! #TheBulldogWay

Independence, we are asking for your help! We know that everyone is in a rush to get to work, home or wherever your destination is, but we want to keep our students safe. Please slow down on 10th street before and after school. We are rolling this sign out, but this is going to have to be a team effort. There are multiple crosswalks on the 10th street side that are used and we could use your help to keep our students safe. Thank you for your help with this matter! #TheBulldogWay
We have over 100 Fall athletes and we are striving every day to get better, so we are ready when it's time to compete. We will compete hard in the classroom and on the court/field.

Thank you!! #TheBulldogWay
