MALC falls to TigersTelesis/Lake Havasu Charter sweeps in volleyball win

By DAVID BELLTODAY’S NEWS-HERALD

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 10:53 PM MST

Control at the service line proved to be the winning difference for the Lady Tigers.Coming off a loss at Kingman Academy of Learning last week, the volleyball team from Telesis Preparatory Academy, Lake Havasu Charter School and home schooling swept visiting Bullhead City Mohave Accelerated Learning Center 25-10, 25-18, 25-21.“The areas we needed to work on we had covered this time,” said Lady Tigers head coach Amy Webert. “This time, they attacked.”Tigers’ Erica Quebral had seven points off the service line in Game 1, including 2 aces. She added another three with an ace in Game 2. Meanwhile Victoria Guzman added six services points in Game 2.In Game 3 the Lady Patriots made a mini-run, getting within three late. But the Tigers’ Emily Kuczynski served two in a row and had the final kill for the victory.“That felt amazing to be in that position to win it,” Kuczynski said. “”They were a good team and they played hard. We just played harder.”The Tigers get to serve up another dose of home cooking this week, when they face the Scholars Academy Thursday at the Lake Havasu City Community Center.“We’re going to work on maintaining momentum for the next game,” Webert said. “And I’m going to have our veterans working with the younger girls.”Game time Thursday is 5 p.m.

Congrats Lady Tigers

Nice job girls! Keep up the great work.

Intermediate Work List

The intermediate work list is a tool used to help the students know what and when daily assigmnents are due. It is a tracking system they use every day. The teachers will initial the assignments once they are done and corrected, if necessary. If a teacher's initial is not on the assignment, the student either needs to do the assignment or correct the assignment. The students are expected to write their assignments on the worklist every day. At the end of the week, parents are expected to sign the back of the worklist and then return it Monday so the students can receive their pay checks. If the worklist is NOT signed, they do NOT receive their work money.

PARENTS, PLEASE SIGN THE WORKLIST EVERY WEEKEND!

We, the staff, are really trying to help the students become responsible working students. You, at home, may need to remind your child to show you his/her worklist to be signed. We hope this will help you understand the importance of your signature on their worklists.
