October 6 is more than just a date on the calendar; it's National Coaches Day. Coaches play a vital role in shaping the lives of those they influence, serving as role models and sources of inspiration. Their guidance imparts valuable skills and life lessons beyond the field, court, or classroom. The impact of a great coach is immeasurable, as they instill discipline and shape character. Today, let's express our gratitude to all the coaches who support opportunities to foster "Success For All Students" at Big Foot High School. Go Chiefs!
