Girl power is alive and kicking with former Five Oaks Academy student Lily VanPelt. Lily is a Sophomore at St. Joseph’s Catholic School and has made their JV football team as their kicker!
When she was in the FOA Middle School, she wrote a narrative essay on her goal for being the first female kicker in the NFL. Lily also made a goal post on the soccer goal here at FOA for her 8th-grade project. Lily’s mother, Michelle VanPelt said, “She has worked so hard to learn it and has been fearless, defying expectations and winning over skeptics, all while playing major travel soccer and taking honors classes at St. Joe’s. The Varsity coach told me how incredible mature she has been communicating with him and I thought “Thank you, FOA!”
Lily has shown her poise and toughness during their games by handling missed snaps and tackles. Congratulations Lily on this amazing accomplishment! We are so proud of you!
