Thompson Named to US Olympic Team

Former Kentlake star Courtney Thompson was nominated today to the US Olympic Team for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The team must still be approved by the US Olympic Committee, but that is a formality. She will join Lindsey Berg in the setting duties. Thompson was instrumental in helping the US National Team to the World Grand Prix title this last weekend as they finished undefeated over the four week tournament. The US Olympic Team will train in Anaheim until they depart for London. Their first match is July 28th. Thompson led Kentlake to three straight State Championships from 2000 to 2002, dropping only one match in the three years.

Online Camp Payment

Using the KSD online payment system for camp is a little complicated.

To Pay On Line with a credit card you have to add Multiple units. So if you are paying $250 you have to add 10 at $25 OR if you are paying for two days to get to $150 you have to pay 6 at $25. The ONLINE system will ONLY work until June 20th – the last day of school. KSD will shut down the on line system after that. The Volleyball camp is the last item in the list. A quick way to find it is to filter for “Activities” in the box on the left side of the middle blue bar above the line items. People can still pay by check if they want – turned into the KL Cashier. The only way to pay with a credit card is the on line system (cashier accepts checks only).

Here is the link to log in – need student number, home phone and birth date to login.
