News from Melrose

The B-B-E Dazzlers dance team in action at Alexandria in early January.

At the February 25 meeting of the Melrose Area school board, the resignation of Melrose Rosettes dance team head coach Sarah Sykora was accepted. She had been head coach at the program for at least the last four years. Her assistant coach is likely to take over the program, although that has not been decided yet.

I'm not sure exactly how long she had been coaching at Melrose, but it does give me a chance to say how lucky we are that B-B-E Dazzlers coach Kim Kulzer has stayed with the program. If memory serves me right, she just completed coaching her third season with the Dazzlers.

Make no mistake about it, the dance program at B-B-E is a very, very important feature of our athletic department. Other area schools who do not have a dance team are at a disadvantage in that respect.
