Denver Public Schools coaches look back at impact made in decades of service Steve Finesilver from George Washington High School and Daniel Medina with Abraham Lincoln High School have served the community as coaches and teachers.

Coach Finesilver had his book signing yesterday for his book “Hard Knocks and Dirty Socks” — and so many Denver students, players and family came to support him as he has had such a positive impact on their lives. It was amazing to see so much (well deserved) love and appreciation for this man.

Coach Steve Finesilver will be at Barnes & Noble on Sunday, July 9th from 12:00-2:00 PM to sign and read excerpts from his book, Hard Knocks and Dirty Socks: Through the Eyes of Coach. Please show your support for his effort to make a difference in public education and the lives of our young people. Your encouragement means so much. Together we will succeed. And don't forget to review his book on Amazon if you haven't already.

Matt Finesilver is sticking around Ann Arbor! Can't wait to transition to this next phase of his wrestling career with the CKWC. 👏

The I Matter program can connect you with a therapist for up to 6 free virtual counseling sessions (some in-person appointments available, too) that are completely confidential. One major benefit of this program is that if you are older than 11 you can receive this help without parental consent or knowledge.

El programa I Matter (Yo Importo) puede conectarte con un terapeuta para hasta 6 sesiones de asesoramiento virtual gratuitas (también hay algunas citas en persona disponibles) que son completamente confidenciales. Hablar con alguien puede hacerte sentir mejor.

Just released. The journey of so many of you and our story together. A small way to celebrate my "larger family". An inside view of education in Denver and how we can, together, change our system to serve all of our children. Please share with our extended GW, Montbello, and Denver family! Love to you! - Coach
