NEW NOAH CALENDAR OPTIONS

Here's what's happening:

NEW CALENDAR      NOAH is working to improve the communications process for all our events. We will be sending an imbedded calendar of the week's events with each new post to our NOAH News blog     This is a test and we ask for patience while we continue to improve the process.     The  calendar will be interactive and leaders will be able to edit changes as they occur.     NOAH continues to build on the successes and hard work of our volunteer families of the past 13 years. Media outlets and the community at large are taking notice of the kids' accomplishments. We see this as an answer to prayer and a positive development for homeschoolers moving forward.

NOAH Events 8/29 to 9/4

Here's what's happening: 
 

Volleyball Fundraiser Tuesday Night     Join the girls for a great time at Tulsa's most unique pizza parlor. Top That! Pizza (8223 So. Memorial Dr.) is hosting a Jaguar event and giving 20% of the designated receipts to NOAH's volleyball program.     For just $6.99 you can load your own 10" pizza just the way you think pizza was meant to be created. Their topping options are vast and you'll enjoy getting to hear about the biggest year yet for NOAH Volleyball. Come after 5pm and help us get the party started. We'll be gathering until 9pm and enjoying meeting all the NOAH families. Basketball Training begins in September All families interested in NOAH Basketball are expected at a basketball meeting on Sept. 27th. Some teams will begin skills training as early as Sept. 8th, so sign up now and stay informed. Read the Basketball Blog for all the details.  NEW Cheer Squads!    NOAH Spirit is excited to present the return of Cheer leading after a 3-year absence.  An all-new leadership staff began work last June to get the squads ready for this Friday. The kids are excited to be boosting the volume and enthusiasm from all our fans. Please let the kids know you appreciate them and be extra gentle with them during this time of getting settled in.  This Fall is going to be a special time for the growing NOAH organization. Elementary  Tackle Football      The younger boys enjoyed their very first game in the newly formed NOAH Youth football organization.  NOAH played Summit Christian this past Saturday. The kids are looking forward to a full schedule in the coming weeks. After a break this coming Saturday, the 2 squads will continue playing Saturday games against other teams from Northeast Oklahoma schools.

This Week's Events Mon: Tue:Volleyball: Fundraiser 5-9pm Softball: @Okmulgee 6pm Wed: Thu: Fri:JH & Varsity Football: vs Springfield 4:30,  7:30pm Sat: NO Pay/No Play    NOAH sports have always strove to make athletic opportunities accessible to all our Homeschool community. Part of that commitment includes keeping the costs down so family economics are less of a hinderance to living  out a sports dream.  To do this we need all families to commit to paying all player fees in a pre-arranged prompt manner.    If unforeseen circumstanses delay  a required payment, we do expect a timely correspondence and a reasonable commitment which does not jeopardize the organization's abilities. If payments are not made when expected, an athlete should expect his participation to be prohibited.    If we do not have complete cooperation to pay team expenses, all other players will incur added burdens that a noncompliant family inadvertantly shifts onto the others. Thank you, to all the families who have faithfully and cooperatively met their obligations.    Occasionally outside benefactors have assisted  low-income homeschool athletes with their participation fees.  If you find yourself in this position, please contact your Athletic Directer to see what outside sources might be available to you.

NOAH Events: August 1-7

Here's what's happening:

Homeschooled Alumni discuss their New College Football Teams      Several former homeschooled football players gathered in Broken Arrow this past weekend and discussed the coming college football seasons.  NOAH's Malachi Blankenship begins his freshman season with The Tulsa Hurricane as a QB.   Freshman Caleb Gastelum expects to rotate in as a weak-side linebacker for The Oklahoma Sooners.    Malachi & Caleb will be on opposing teams next month when Tulsa University takes on Oklahoma University. The two had little to say about the high-profile match up, but they were very mindful of the challenge and what it means for their teams hopes. The two have been friends for many years. NOAH's Sam Fowler has been a receiver at Evangel University for 2 years, but Sam is transferring this Fall; accepting an academic scholarship to Oral Roberts University, to complete his chosen major at his parents' alma mater.   Sam & Josh Lohn have been rivals-turned-teammates at Evangel for 2 years. Josh, formerly with the Springfield Chargers, said he will be playing Linebacker for Evangel University as a sophomore. Sam & Josh may not be the only homeschool rivals-turned team mates. Josh Lohn's younger brother, Nathaneal Lohn, is heavily considering a scholarship offer to join Malachi at Tulsa University. As a Lineman, Nathaneal has 19 college offers to choose from, according to Rivals.com   Oklahoma is another University he visited and he mentioned his excitement at watching Caleb Gastelum's big performance at the Red & White game this past Spring. NOAH's Anthony Mayberry will be joining the Eastern Oklahoma State Tigers as a redshirt freshman  lineman.  Baton Rouge's noted QB, Stevie Douglas, turned down a scholarship from Memphis and signed with Stephen Austin University.      Many other NOAH alumni have opted for other directions and declined scholarships which didn't fit with their life's calling and vocation. NOAH is proud of all our kids and supports their pursuit of excellence in every aspect of life.    Several of the mentioned players were gathered for friend & former teammate Charlie Van Risseghem's wedding, in Broken Arrow.
