Her name is Giulia Peccati and she's here in Aitkin for the remainder of the school year. She comes to us from Milan, Italy and is staying with the Greg Hills family. She's been here for three weeks and is enjoying the area, "I've been to a Wild game and have met a lot of very nice people. People here have been very friendly." She likes soccer and likes to dance, "I got here too late for the dance season, but I got to exercise with them a little. I would like to try new sports while I am here, especially softball this spring." Giulia has one more year of school after her visit to Aitkin and she has aspirations of studying medicine. She has two siblings, a sister that loves in the United States and an 11 year-old brother at home in Italy. Hopefully you will get to meet her during her stay and share some "Minnesota nice". Welcome Giulia.
He does it all, he’s there when the teams show up, he makes sure announce table staff show up, he gets the equipment out and he’s there until the lights go off in the gym after a game or match. He is Jason Cline, Activities Director at Aitkin High School. The winter season is about to get underway so let’s check in and see if he’s ready. So what’s new this year. “We get to utilize the new Hudl live cameras for streaming. It’s going to be a great thing for families that can’t make it to the games or events. You will go to the Activities page and click on livestream, that's all there is to it." What’s the toughest part for you in the next few months. “The toughest part as an AD is the long days. I get to the school at about 5:30am to open the weight room. On game night I don’t leave until around 9-9:30.” Has it been hard to find officials this year? “I have lucked out and have a couple associations that like coming here, so it hasn’t been difficult at all, maybe for the lower-level games, that’s a little tougher.” Don't forget crowd control most nights although he's got that down to a perfect system. He loves his job, this I know. It's not always easy but then what is, right. He's just one of the reasons that sports at Aitkin High School is always a great event.
