Council will also be asked to adopt Resolutions during the Consent Agenda this evening recognizing the PACT Charter School and Anoka High School Dance Teams. Background: PACT Charter School: The team's Head Coach, Erin Kruesi,has been working with the PACT team for five seasons and coaching Dance Team for a total of 14 seasons. Their assistant coach, Kelsey Field, danced with the PACT dance team for 6 seasons and has coached them for 3 seasons. The PACT Charter School Dance Team made it to State this year in the Jazz division,where the top 12 teams compete for the State Championship title. After staying home from State last season,the Pantherettes came back stronger than ever this year. They placed 3rd at Sections in High Kick,though only the top 2 teams advanced to the State competition. However,they won their first ever Jazz Section championship with their most successful jazz program in PACT history, and advanced to the State Tournament in this routine. This is PACT's 3rd time competing at the State tournament, and they are the only athletic program at their school to have made it to this level of competition. In addition to this outstanding accomplishment,the PACT Dance Team Head Coach, Erin Kruesi, and her Assistant Coach, Kelsey Field,were once again nominated for Coach of the Year awards in Class A. The Pantherettes would like to thank both their coaches for all of their dedication and love given to this team and the sport as a whole. They would also like to specifically recognize Coach Kelsey,who has just finished her 9th and final season as a Pantherette, and will be moving on to graduate school in July to pursue a career in Athletic Training. The team stated they are forever grateful for her contributions to this program. Mayor Strommen will call the Coach and Team forward and present certificates of recognition to each member.
