In the spirit of thanksgiving, the Physical Education and Athletics Departments want to express their appreciation to all the members of the Long Reach community, faculty and staff, Principal Wasilewski, Leadership Classes and especially the Long Reach High School Boosters for their contributions to the improvements recently made to the school’s weight room. Heavily used dumbbells were replaced and a new set with a rack was added. Safety arms for squat racks and additional safety catches were added. Resistance Bands that can be used in addition to or in place of weights for exercises were also purchased. Josh Davey and Ted Goeres also built a Deadlift Platform to compliment additional Rubber Barbell plates purchased for heavy lifting programs. All combined, made for a terrific improvement in our school’s strength and conditioning programs. Thank you again to everyone involved!
