ASSEMBLY
Congratulations to this week's assembly prize winners!
BASKETBALL TEAM HIGHLIGHTS
What an exciting tournament to wrap up the girls basketball season! The girls all played with heart and hustle and AMAZING sportsmanship. They lost their first two games, but came back to win their last two games. The last game in particular was a real nail biter with the girls working hard every step of the way. A basket in the last couple of seconds of the game gave them the close victory of 16-14. As coaches, regardless of losses or wins, we are extremely proud of this group and the growth they have achieved this season!
Special THANKS goes out to our families, friends, and staff who supported the team and were truly wonderful fans!! Thank you to Vyn Sveinsson who came out to be an extra set of hands on the coaching bench with Mr. McDonald and Mrs. Kloschinsky. It was truly a group effort! Congratulations to all on a fabulous end to the season!
