Labor Day Weekend

What Does Labor Day Weekend Mean to You?

The first Monday in September is Labor Day. During Labor Day Weekend, we recognize American workers’ dedication to social and economic prosperity. For the tireless labor of the American people, we pay tribute annually to employees and their contributions to the success and well-being of our country.

As the weather (somewhat) starts to cool off, we encourage everyone to take advantage of time with friends and family over this long holiday weekend. Whether you decide to travel and grill out by the lake or stay closer to home, we hope that you enjoy the extended break!

In recognition of the holiday, our offices will be closed Monday, September 3rd and will reopen on Tuesday, September 4th. So go out and enjoy the nice weather on your long weekend! Let us know how you plan to spend your break! If you miss us, feel free to check out our blog for some leisurely reading.

fall sports coaches

You can slowly feel the changes of fall starting to creep in with the cooler morning and evening air, shorter days, pumpkin flavors popping up everywhere, and of course, fall sports! With that, we wanted to take a chance to highlight SSI’s own fall sports coaches!

First, we have Dustin Sherer, who is currently the Co-Offensive Coordinator, Quarterbacks coach, and JV coach at Tipton High School in Tipton, IN. According to Dustin, “Coaching football at the high school level has always been a dream of mine and I am very fortunate that Storage Solutions has let me pursue that opportunity.  Our team has the chance to be very successful this year led by a strong Junior and Senior class. We have opened the season with two impressive wins but now jump into the strength of our schedule with very good competition.”

In addition to Dustin coaching the Tipton Blue Devils, we also have Heather Hutton coaching Varsity and JV cheerleading for the Frankton High School squad in Frankton, IN. You might remember us mentioning Heather’s squad getting the chance to cheer their basketball team on to a State Championship earlier this year at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse. Her squad is still carrying that excitement with them and has had a great start to the season. They expect a decent year for the Eagle football team, which has started the season 1-1, including an impressive 87-0 home opener.

Next, from our Kansas City office, Eric McDonald is in his fourth year as the Assistant Coach for the Northland Chargers 5th and 6th grade tackle football team. Eric coached the Chargers to 2 (2015 & 2016) North Suburban Youth Football League Super Bowl championships! He hopes to continue his success with the team this coming season. It’s fitting that our VP of Business Strategy also makes a great coach.

Finally, we’d like to also mention Michelle Coleman’s husband Rich, who is the Head Varsity Volleyball coach for Zionsville High School. For Michelle, this means a lot of green and white and getting to support and cheer on a sport she is very passionate about! Currently, Rich’s team sits at 8-0, beating some of their top competitors already this season.

All four teams seem to have a great start so far, and we are looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season will hold for all of our SSI coaches!
