Hello my fellow Falcons. As I am sure you have all heard, Mr. Warner will be leaving St. FX due to the lack of job positions at our school. Many have either had Warner as a teacher or coach. I am starting this petition to not only show the school board how much Warner has impacted many of the students, teachers and parents at St.FX but also to show HIM how much we have loved having him as a teacher, role model, coach, and inspiration.

My personal experience of having Warner as my teacher and coach has not only impacted my education in positive way but it has also encouraged me as young athlete and young adult to work hard for what I want. He has taught that when I do something, no matter if I enjoy it or not, to strive to do my absolute best in EVERYTHING that I do. He has taught me the importance of friendship and teamwork. That being an athlete on a team sport is not only about working to improve and hone my own skills but to help and encourage my teammates in doing the same for each other. So that we aren't just good players on our own but we are great players together.

I can speak for most of the other girls on my team, and I am sure for many other students at St.FX that Warner has taught us to have a confidence in ourselves and our abilities. He made us realize our full potential, even though sometimes he had to push us past our comfort zone to get there. He has been a father figure to many and a person to trust by all. He was truly someone EVERYONE looked up to. No matter where he ends up we will all feel blessed to have had him as a teacher and coach but by signing this petition we can at least try our hardest to show the school board why he should stay at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School. Although he will definitely be an asset anywhere he goes.
