Jay Rifenbary, author of No Excuse!, An Action Plan for Success, will speak to all parents of Garden City Middle School and Garden City High School athletes at the fall Meet the Coaches Night, Thursday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium. Parents will meet with the coaches immediately following.

This presentation is open to all parents in the district, who are encouraged to attend. This presentation validates for many that certain principles and skills still matter when it comes to the success of both personal and professional lives. Having a greater understanding of the importance of consistency in behavior, decisiveness and personal honesty will only enhance a person's productivity and efficiency.
