SAU Football team excelled with outstanding dedication! We've made remarkable progress, cleaning up 95% in just ONE DAY. These exceptional young men truly deserve immense praise. Under the exceptional leadership of Coach TJ Langley, this team got it done!! Their impeccable manners showed in their repeated gratitude for the meal, respectfully responding with 'yes ma’am' and 'sir' in every interaction. We're thoroughly impressed by the stellar work ethic and attitudes displayed by these student athletes. Thank you also to Coach Smiley for getting these students out today!

🎄✨ What a season of giving. ✨🎄

Through the 2025 Crowell Family Christmas Lights fundraiser, an incredible $45,591.87 was raised to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in our community.

This total includes $20,000 in matching gifts, made possible by:
• Tetra Technologies – $5,000 match
• The Crowell Family – $5,000 match
• Anonymous donors – $10,000 match

These funds come at a critical time and will directly support survivors who rely on safe shelter, advocacy, and hope when they need it most.

To everyone who visited the lights, donated, shared, or supported this mission — thank you for lighting the way. ❤️

This is what community looks like.
