The 8th graders had the amazing opportunity to view and experience the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum that is temporarily on exhibit at the Chattanooga Public Library. The trip was very informative about all that was going on during the Holocaust, and the library representatives engaged students in other Holocaust related activities. This exhibit is open to the public, so everyone show go visit!

As the Climbing season came to an end this week, Normal park finished with a record of seven wins and one loss. This put us into a three-way tie with CSAS and CCS. On Wednesday 2/1, we had a tiebreaker competition. The results of that competition were CCS 348, CSAS, 341, and Normal Park 339. Despite coming in third in the tiebreaker, Normal Park finished with its highest ever team score and 11 of our climbers had scores that tied or beat their personal best. Our top climbers for the night were Logan Zhang, Willa Petmecky, Timmy Andrews, Stella Fahey, Blake Moon, Craig Powell, and Harlan Gorrell.
Now that the season is completed, we can recognize some superlatives. Our MVPs were Logan Zhang and Willa Petmecky, our most consistent and dependable were Timmy Andrews and Stella Fahey, our scholar athlete was Tilly Petmecky, and our most improved climbers were Will Sheppard and Lily Blackburn. Lily improved from a score of 130 in her first competition to a score of 270 in her last! I think as coaches we are always most proud of those that persevere and work so hard to improve their abilities.
We would like to thank the entire Normal Park community for the love and support you have shown the Lightning Climbers.
Thank you,
Brian Fahey - Head Coach
Zane Deller - Asst. Coach
