Welcome

Welcome to the Cougars for Katrina Relief Blog. Now that I have rejoined the ranks of the retired, happily I must admit, I am in a position to keep all interested parties up to date on the excursion to New Orleans.
At a meeting yesterday 34 boys and 14 girls were informed that they will be the young people traveling from March 8 to the 17th to New Orleans, Louisiana via Nashville to assist with rebuilding efforts after the devestation of Hurricane Katrina. This project has been in the planning stages for the past nine months and both the students and the adults who will accompany them are beginning to get excited.
The intent of my blog is to give readers day by day, blow by blow descriptions of events leading up to our departure and a first hand look at our activities at the close of each day.
Parents will be able to view their students on-line and will be able to post messages to them from home.
The second purpose of this page is to further intoduce you to the Cougar Football team, particularly its activities over the past twelve months. I will be posting photos from last May's Lung Association's Pull For Kids competition as well as some photos from our season, including some taken in Canton, Ohio.
Parents should feel free to send me photos they may have taken during the season so they may also be included.
Let the fun begin!
