The AISR Athletic Department is composed of the following staff: Mr. Zeilstra is the Athletic Director and can be contacted for any matter that warrents his attention. Mrs. George-Kelso, in the office can provide answers to most questions. Our school nurse, Laurence Chambers will provide first aid if needed. Our coaching staff (mainly AISR teachers) will be working closely with our students throughout the year, “following” the aims and objectives that we believe are important in a school sport program.
Educators, coaches, parents, and administrators agree that sports programs can be positive experiences for fitness and skill development but also in sportsmanship, fair play, and character development. The word character may need some explanation. Aristotle mentions character as “virtues’, or important elements of behavior that require practice. “One becomes virtuous by performing virtuous acts.” Some of the more classical virtues are self-discipline, honesty, perseverance, responsibility, compassion and work ethics.
We are proud to say that at AISR, we do our best to practice and teach these concepts.
Robert Zeilstra Athletic Director
