Since we placed the Jungle Survival Driver’s Training banner on the Forest Hills Central Ranger website, the number of teens attending Jungle has risen dramatically. As a matter of fact, our current class has a total of 55 students and almost half of those students are from FHC. Forest Hills Central historically has made up 21% of our enrollment in any particular class. I realize there are additional factors, which influence our enrollment numbers, but it is obvious that VNN has played a major role in our FHC enrollment.

Apart from some small sport-specific sites that came and went over the years, we didn’t do any real sports information. We didn’t think we had the resources to do it, but working with VNN brought all the pieces together. The VNN software was really simple to learn. Once the first couple volunteers got on board, word spread and the recruiting process became much easier. We have parents writing stories about a number of our sports now, all coordinated on the same platform.

I just thought you should be aware of what is up on our site right now. We have 6 different sports represented in our 7 most recent postings. This is what you have created and I believe that each athlete can look back at their digital shoebox with pride. Thanks again for getting us involved in this and giving a forum for the under-covered athlet.
