It is with great sadness that we say goodbye, this weekend, to our dear friend and fellow Finneytown Schools Educational Foundation board member, John Wesly Coleman Jr. who passed away unexpectedly last week while on a vacation to Florida. Words, alone, cannot fill the vacuum that is left behind by John's warmth, kindness, sense of humor, and enormous smile. JC was an immediate friend to everybody he met, and had a way to make everyone feel loved and valued.

The 1998 Finneytown Men's Elite 8 basketball team was welcomed back to campus by a raucous crowd last Friday night, February 9, at the home Varsity game. The team gathered in the MP beforehand to catch up over dinner, were introduced to the crowd at half-time, and even gave the team a locker room pep-talk before the game.
