🏀🔥 WHAT A GAME! 🔥🏀
Our 8th Grade vs. Staff Basketball Game was a HUGE success! Everyone had an amazing time, and the energy in the building was incredible from start to finish! 💙🧡
We want to give a big shoutout to all our students, staff, families, and supporters who came out and made this event so special. Every player gave it their all and showed great sportsmanship, teamwork, and school spirit! 👏🏾
Unfortunately… our 8th-grade students did take the loss 😅 BUT the great news is… our staff members did NOT! 😂🏆
Final Score:
