Dear Amundsen Viking Supporters,
During this past Thanksgiving break, I was reflecting on all the wonderful Viking supporters that I have crossed paths with since volunteering here at Amundsen High School. Whether it was meeting a community supporter at an event, a donor asking how they can support, another parent volunteering at a school event, it has been an amazing experience meeting so many wonderful Amundsen Viking supporters. It warms my heart to know that we all have one common goal and it's to support our students here at Amundsen High School.
I am grateful for everyone that has supported our student-athletes by showing up to cheer for them at a game, picking up their spirits after a loss, those that have volunteered at a game or that have made an in-kind donation to the teams. I am thankful to the parents that have stepped up to assist the teams, Coaches, Athletic Directors and especially the Amundsen Athletics Foundation board members for their dedication to serving on the board and providing behind the scenes support daily that nobody else sees. I am grateful to the administration that has been very supportive and understands our mission to provide community and support for our students and their families. I am especially grateful to the Athletic Directors & all the Coaches that continually show up to guide and support our student athletes, an experience that will stay with them beyond their high school years.
I am grateful to be part of the Amundsen Athletic community as we continue to come together this Giving Tuesday to make an impact in the lives of our student athletes.
With tremendous gratitude,
Elvia Heneghan
AAF, President
