Senior Ball 2019!

1/27/2019

 
Friday evening's Senior Winter Ball at the Woodwinds in Branford was a HUGE SUCCESS! Kudos to the Senior Class Officers and Mr. Adam Raiti for all of their hard work in planning and preparing for such a wonderful event. The special guest of the evening, Mrs. Edna Schreindorfer, Ms. Schriendorfer's 97 year old mom,  was welcomed and had "a BALL".  Take a look at some of the photos.

Old Lyme’s Johnson named CSWA Female Athlete of the Year!

1/25/2019

 
Day Staff Reports:

Mya Johnson, who led Old Lyme to its fourth consecutive CIAC Class S girls' soccer championship in 2018, was named the Hank O'Donnell Female Athlete of the Year by the Connecticut Sports Writers' Alliance on Monday.

​Johnson will be honored at the 78th Gold Key Dinner on Sunday, April 28, at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington. The Bill Lee Male Athlete of the Year is Wesleyan University lacrosse player Harry Stanton of New Canaan, a three-time All-American who led Wesleyan to its first national title in 2018.

Johnson, who will attend Connecticut College this fall, scored Old Lyme's final five goals of this state tournament, a hat trick in the Wildcats' 3-1 semifinal win over East Hampton and then both goals to wipe out a 1-0 deficit and rally Old Lyme to a 2-1 win over Immaculate in the finals. Her first goal in the final was the 100th of her career.

Johnson and Stanton will be honored along with this year's Gold Key recipients who include St. Thomas More men's basketball coach Jere Quinn and former UConn men's basketball great Chris Smith.
Tickets are $75 apiece and can be reserved by contacting CSWA president Tim Jensen at tim.jensen@patch.com or (860) 394-5091.

Lyme-Old Lyme's Unified Sports Program!

1/20/2019

 
Picture
Unified Sports is a registered program of Special Olympics that combines approximately equal numbers of athletes with and without disabilities, on sports teams for training and competition. All Unified Sports players, both athletes and partners, are similar age and matched sport skill ability. Unified Sports teams are placed in competitive divisions based on their skill abilities, and range from training divisions (with a skill-learning focus) to high skill competition.

The pioneer sports program was started in 1992 under the partnership between the CIAC and the Special Olympics Connecticut to expand athletic opportunities for students of all abilities. The Unified Sports program has grown rapidly, with over 3000 students participating last year in Connecticut alone.

​Lyme-Old Lyme is starting their own Unified Sports program this year. We are looking for athletes and parents who are interested in committing to one or two practices a week, along with competitions between other shoreline schools a few times a season, as well as, a few shoreline and state tournaments. Sports that will be included in the program will be soccer, basketball, volleyball, bowling and track and field. We have a few events coming up the end of January and February if we get enough athletes signed up. We currently have a few partners signed up and are looking to get more athletes. Coaches will be attending a training on Tuesday, January 8th at the CIAC and we are looking forward to getting this program off the ground.

Please discuss with your child about the idea of being a part of this amazing opportunity and begin your registration process if you haven’t done so already. FamilyID is open for registration. Please see the reverse side for instructions on signing up.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions concerning this program.
Sincerely,
Hildie Heck
Athletic Director

RISE: A Refugee Story!

1/16/2019

 
On January 10, Lyme-Old Lyme's 'Amped Up' Show Choir put on an amazing performance of Darin Hamou's life experiences as a refugee. The gala began with a delicious catered dinner by Sal's Pizza accompanied by a wonderful display of talent by the seniors (and some juniors) of some specially selected music and song. The main event was a powerful and moving representation of Darin and her family's  travels that brought them from Aleppo to Turkey and finally to the United States.  It was a very exciting evening.

Movie Night sponsored by National Spanish Honor Society

1/6/2019

 
Last December, about twenty students watched a documentary called “The Other Kids.” There were different goals behind this cultural experience. The NSHS was hoping to collect enough money to pay for one scholarship.  Additionally, the idea was to spread empathy while realizing how fortunate we are.  The movie is available on Amazon Prime.  It is a documentary that will make you a better person and athlete. The NSHS hopes that you make time in your busy schedule to watch it!
Storyline: Featuring Fernando Torres, Sergio Ramos, Yaya Touré and Vincente Del Bosque, this inspiring story reveals the power of football to change people's lives. Hundreds of millions of kids play football every day. For many of them, football grants are the only way to access education or the ticket to a better future. In some cases, it is their only way to survive. The life of Mubiru Rigan depends on one of these sport grants. Mubiru Rigan, dreams of being the next Fernando Torres and scoring the goal that brings Uganda their first African Cup. But he never had an easy life. When he was 3 years old, his mother abandoned him in the toxic waste dump that surrounds Nelson Mandela's National Football Stadium in Uganda. For a while, Rigan survived by selling scrap metal and stealing, around waste and football, always on the run from local mafias. There, he was discovered by a trainer, who got him a sports grant that allowed him to go back to school, eat every day and play football.
