And through it, students are learning focus, self-control, discipline, patience, and the life lessons required to be successful in the classroom and in life. According to statistics, this archery program is noted to have the greatest safety record. All participating students have learned the Eleven Steps to Archery Success and have memorized and are now proficient in the process. Students look forward to the twice weekly classes as part of the physical education curriculum. Daniela Saldana, principle shared, “I am so happy that our pastor, Fr. Miguel Galvez, had the forethought and vision to add archery to our physical education program! It has helped our students improve their hand-eye coordination, strength-building, physical endurance, socialization and patience.We are immensely grateful to our generous Home & School Association for supporting the start-up of this program and for our volunteer teacher, Mr. Nick Ringelstetter, for his professionalism and devotion to both the sport and our beloved school!”
