New volleyball program started at St. John the Baptist A junior high girls’ volleyball program has started at St. John the Baptist School in Kenmore. Coached Johanna MacDonald, the girls’ team is quickly making a name for themselves among the Catholic schools circuit with a record of six wins and two losses to date. Interest in developing a program in which girls could learn the game prompted the school to reinstate volleyball into its athletic program. MacDonald is a
respected coach among the students, as she coaches the school’s track team and “Girls on the Run” program, too. The team decided to host a fundraiser to raise the $1,000 needed to acquire the necessary equipment. Eighth grader Anna Stang made three cozy, fleece blankets featuring the Buffalo Sabres and Bills, Marvel comic book characters, and Hello Kitty. The team sold tickets during before school
and during lunches and raised $500 in the process. Second grader Nadia Shilen and Kindergarteners Ricky Panowicz and Natalie Cook were the thrilled winners! The St. John’s Parent Athletic Association and an anonymous donor raised the remaining funds enabling the team to purchase a new net, pole pads, cable pads, six balls and an antenna. The St. John’s Jaguars look forward to ending the season strong.

Enjoy an evening of memories and laughter with staff, physicians, volunteers and community partners who have helped carry the tradition for a “special kind of care” past, present and into the future at DeGraff Memorial.
