Cristina Torres of Ell-Saline High School was chosen as the Eccentricity Mom of the Month for March. Torres has two sons, Obed and Victor, that participate in sports at Ell-Saline.

Torres contributes in many different ways for Cardinal athletics, but most important to her is that she is always around.

“I tried to help the team by supporting with meals and snacks but above all by being present,” Torres said.

“I think it is an important part that our athletes always feel supported and accompanied.”

Being that she was nominated, it gives Torres a special feeling knowing she plays a part in the success of Ell-Saline sports.

“I feel blessed to know that my contribution to the Ell-Saline family is important,” Torres said.

For Torres, what she sees the athletes producing and how they represent Ell-Saline, is the reward for her hard work.

“I feel that at all times our athletes in all sports are always very grateful and that they put all their heart and effort into what they do,” Torres said. “That is one of the best rewards we get after helping or providing something to the team. I don’t think it’s a sacrifice to help in any season. I think that when you have children nothing is impossible and everything is put in its place in due course. We do everything possible so that our children always have the best possible.”
