That same exact thing happened to us this year Al. We lost one of our workshops/storage areas to a teacher's exercise facility.....

I can honestly say that I've only ever seen two teachers walk into that room.

Although the school district supports us monetarily and brags about us when they need to look good, where's the in-school recognition that every other sports team gets to enjoy on the morning announcements or in the front lobby's trophy case?

Its still a struggle but the fight is always worth it.
