Comanche Academy is incredibly thankful to Janee' Kassanavoid and Will Leather Goods for their donation of 100 handcrafted backpacks to our learners!

On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Janee’ Kassanavoid visited Comanche Academy for an assembly where she spoke about her journey to becoming one of the best hammer throwers in the world. She gave an inspiring speech that motivated and encouraged our students that they could do anything.
