Organizers recognized the coaches, Krysta Taylor and Kayla Sheptak, and their assistants for their hard work, time and effort put into working with the skaters “who have put in so much hard work and dedication this season.
“It was wonderful to see them grow as skaters,” it was said. The parents have been there to cheer on the kids every week and have helped make this year a success.
Without the audience, the skaters would have had no one to perform for, it said. “We appreciate you taking the time to come out and see what all our skaters have accomplished.”
Volunteers and sponsors were recognized and everyone was thanked for helping to make the year “such a huge success.”
