My Students

Our student-athletes have a passion for sports and competition. Whether rejoining a team, or trying a sport for the first time, our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students do an outstanding job representing our school and community.

Our middle school sports program focuses on participation, and we continue to see participation growing each year.

We are focused on providing student-athletes with a safe and fun space to practice and play the sports they love. We greatly appreciate your support of our program!

My Project

Our basketball program is one of the most popular after-school activities for our student athletes. Participation in both the boys and girls program has grown each year, and we now have well over 100 students participating on a basketball team at our school.

As participation numbers have grown at the 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade levels of our program, we are in need of new game supplies to keep up with the demand!

Our students will benefit from new game basketballs for all of our competitions against the other middle schools in our area. Thank you for considering support of our athletics program!
