Providence Student Athlete of the Month gives back through VBS and YFC

Providence University College may have to rename its monthly high school athletics award for August. Something like “Providence Multi-Sport Student Athlete of the Month” could fit the bill. Because Carman’s Sydney Last doesn’t exactly limit herself to a single game. 

In her Grade 12 year at Carman Collegiate she captained the volleyball and basketball teams, advanced to provincials in badminton and also played baseball in the spring. 

“I’ve been given talent from God,” she says. “I just really love to play sports, and I want to do it for God’s glory.” 

Hoopla Island making waves with summer adventure-seekers

Picture this: a giant obstacle course with trampolines, slides, climbing walls and jumping platforms–really high ones. Oh, and it floats on a lake. Now add your friends, family, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or any other get-together of fun-in-the-sun seekers.

If it sounds like the best time ever, it’s because it just might be.

“Honestly, I haven’t come across a group that hasn’t enjoyed Hoopa Island,” says Gabe Verrier. “It’s perfect for families, groups of friends and corporate events.”

June student athlete award-winner uses basketball to make a difference

You can ask Colin Dyck about his basketball, but don’t expect him to take much credit for his quite impressive talent. He’d rather direct attention elsewhere.

“I’m a proud follower of Jesus,” he says. “I love to show my hard work ethic through basketball and I love to glorify God in what I do.”

Providence Athlete of the Month fueled by volunteering, community involvement & basketball

It says a lot when award-winning athletics is one of numerous activities in which a high school student is involved. The on-court talent is a given, but it also speaks to energy, dedication and a heart for people in the community. 

Peyton Kehler, the Providence University College High School Student-Athlete of the Month for May 2023, has a lot going on. Her Grade 11 exams will shortly round out a period she admits has been “chaotic.” But you get the feeling she wouldn’t have it any other way.
