Bank Iowa SFHS Student-Athletes of the Week: Cate Snyder & SFHS Girls XC Team
"These phenomenal young women are the definition of true student-athletes. Their success this season is no accident; it is the direct result of immense time, dedication, and relentless work ethic they display both in and out of season, as well as inside the classroom. This is a special group that feeds off each other's determination and energy. Constantly lifting one another up and bringing a positive impact as they challenge one another to always do and be their best. It is an absolute joy and privilege to coach them all congratulations: Sydney Zupke, Rain Robertson, Paige Holtz, Jaci Snyder, Braelyn Suckow, Kendall Suckow, Kate Boehmler and Cecilia Sperfslage." - Coach Jones
"Cate has been working hard all season long and continues to grow as a player and leader. She is becoming a very vocal presence on the court, consistently encouraging and supporting her teammates. In our second-round regional match, she had an impressive performance, hitting over .500 and helping lead our team into the next round. She is extremely coachable, puts in the work, and continues to get better every day." - Coach Mitchell

Our talented 8th graders just wrapped up an incredible robotics project: designing and engineering their very own spinning signs! By combining hardware and logic, they programmed motors to control the physical rotation and wired up touch sensors to trigger the movement on command. It’s amazing to see these young engineers learn firsthand how software instructions translate into real-world action. Check out their hard work in action! 👇
