Congratulations to Bayside Academy rising senior Luke Ferguson who was named the WKRG Scholar Athlete of the Week for July 9. Thanks to WKRG and the United States Sports Academy for recognizing Scholar Athletes.
Bayside Academy Athletic Director and Boys’ Soccer Coach Jamie Ferguson had this to say about Luke: “Luke is a true competitor, an athlete that shines due to his talents. However, his ability to elevate those around him is just as powerful. Teammates look to Luke for guidance and comfort in the heat of the game. Whether it is taking the game-winning penalty at the State Soccer Final or sinking the 4-foot putt at State golf, Luke might be burning up with competitive fire inside, yet he only displays a steady calm demeanor. This poise allows team mates to relax, live in the moment and enjoy the game. This competitive spirit, calm head, and leadership will serve Luke well in life, both college and beyond.”
Of Luke, Bayside Boys’ Golf Coach Mark Lasseter says, “I have had the pleasure of teaching Luke since he was in second grade. Even back then Luke was kind, observant, respectful, and always had a smile on his face. Today, that little boy has grown into a young man that exemplifies all that is good in mankind. He has a heart for others. He is an unbelievable athlete with tremendous talent, but that is overshadowed by the kind of wonderful person and leader he has become. It is my honor to be his coach.”

Bayside Academy rising senior Annie Midyett completed the United States Naval Academy Summer Seminar in early June, where she participated in academic and leadership workshops, as well as intense training and competitions. Annie was grateful for the opportunity to participate and enjoyed the people she met while at the Naval Academy. She said, “Every day was challenging in different ways, whether it was physical activities, memorizing information, paying attention, or just keeping a positive attitude. Although every day included hours of workouts, the hardest day was when we completed something called Sea Trials which consisted of eight hours of nonstop exercises such as swimming in the harbor, running for miles, crawling through trenches, completing military obstacle courses, tire flipping, pull ups and more. I’m thankful for the opportunity I had to talk to the most impressive people I’ve ever met. I’ve learned so much about myself, team work, military service and how to push through in order to accomplish seemingly impossible things.”

37—Foley-Elementary-School-Receives-Grant

Gulf Coast RC& D awarded Foley Elementary (Lisa Tidwell) with a substantial grant that funded their endeavor of Seed to Table. This learning opportunity gave the students the chance to experience first-hand the process of growing vegetables from the stages of seed to harvest. A hands-on experience like no other. Students were involved from planting the seed, to placing the seedlings into the Garden Farm Towers, to harvesting the crop, to giving the harvest out to the local community. Without the support of RC&D this would have never taken place in this school year.
