Miller, SD: Elementary Students Learn How to Measure Success

Elementary students learned about sportsmanship, choices and responsibility as Miller schools presented CC! to them on October 21, 2004.

When locally famous high school athletes go to college, said Phil Olson, professional director with the Sioux Falls YMCA, people won't know about their athletic accomplishments. Instead, they'll judge them on their character.

Students in grades 7-12 watched a sportsmanship-themed program later that afternoon. One key question was: How do you measure success? According to The Miller Press, presenters asked students to think about what actually matters to them when the lights go out after a game.

Sue Ann Lang, executive director of the Sioux Empire CC! Coalition, helped facilitate the programs.
