Figure Skating

Ice Dreams

Rachel Johnson is an 11 year old competitive figure skater. She is a rising six grader at Crowders Creek Middle School. Rachel has been figure skating for four years and is in the pre-preliminary level. For Rachel, practice begins early in the morning for an hour before school starts. That really means for a long day!  Rachel says, " The best part of going to practice early in the morning is that I can pursue other activities after school, like playing on the soccer team." Choices have to be made  carefully so that some activities don't interfere with practice, competitions and schoolwork. This year she received the A/B Honor Roll Award, Perfect Attendance Award and the Character Award for Courage. (complete story)
