 The Importance of an academic education in today's competitive World

Society has viewed education as an important part of life for many years "Education not only gives you the skills and knowledge to be a contributing citizen, but also, education gives you the worth and self esteem so you see yourself as a valuable person;((Molstad). Education is a part of life that no one can ever take away from a person; quote; (Molstad).   

The PR figure Skating Federation recognizes the importance of balancing Academics and the  Athletics,  and the risk of placing more emphasis on one more than the other. It is our goal to create incentives for our young athletes to  continue to excel in the academics by launching our  new and exciting program  "Athletic Academic Rewards Program". Ms. Judy Segall is the coordinator for this program and plans on implementing  the 1st of the year. for more information visit our website after January.
