“CASA volunteers serve as voices for children in court, and other settings, to give them a chance at finding permanent and stable homes,” said Jackie Horton, executive director for the First Circuit CASA program. “The effect CASA volunteers have on children’s lives during an uncertain time is significant. With 61 children in the area needing a volunteer to advocate for their safety and future, there is a great opportunity for ordinary citizens to have a positive impact on children’s lives. We desperately need more volunteers to serve our most vulnerable children.”

These 8 girls together make a great team that we can only see improve these next few years. Together these girls have a fun time and have really improved on all evets. They started off on the beam this afternoon. Jenna Duffek, Alcista Dion and Alexys Reub all three competed no fall routines. They continued their second rotation to the floor. Where they showed power and grace. Although they did not all receive the score they had been working towards all season, they held their heads high, cheered on their teammates and pushed forth to the vault. Here they scored well. All four counted scores were above and 8. We ended the afternoon on the uneven bars.
