Homegrown Lacrosse Lax P.E. In-School Program

I am writing this recommendation in support of the work that Aron Lipkin, Daniel Lipkin and Heather Brick did at Roosevelt High School.  During the week of January 7-14, these three came to Roosevelt and taught 5 double classes the game of lacrosse.  Aron, Daniel and Heather were highly motivated to spread lacrosse throughout the high schools.  They did a great job.

The job of teaching high school students lacrosse is not easy.  Many of our students were skeptical about this activity, most were not very good.  Aron, Daniel and Heather did an excellent job of communicating with and introducing our students to the basics of lacrosse.  In just four days, the students were playing modified games. 

In conclusion, lacrosse was very well received by the students because of the excellent job Aron, Daniel and Heather did in teaching and promoting the sport.  As they represent a non-profit organization, any funding that would help these three continue their great work would be a great investment in the youth of Minneapolis.
             
If you need any further information about the work these three did here, please email me at Pam.Schreurs@mpls.k12.mn.us.

            Hello,
           
I am a student from Pam Schreurs’ 1st hour P.E. class at Roosevelt.  I just wanted to say thank you so much for teaching us some fun lacrosse stuff!  It was really fun and cool.  You guys do an awesome job!  So thanks so much, I had a lot of fun!  And you should take that as a big complement from someone like me because sports are not my favorite!  So that’s how good of a job you guys did.  Thanks again!

The Homegrown lacrosse was one of the best programs ever in South High School.
The coaches that came in really taught us a lot of about the game and how its played that it made me want to play for the minneapolis girls team.  I'm on the team now and love every minute of it.
