My Project

As our school year slowly draws to a close, we are approaching the end of our inaugural competitive basketball season.

Our motto all season long has been, "Sink or swim, we're all in; GO, Admirals!"

The fourth and fifth-grade athletes have been training and improving their skills on the court. They have pushed themselves to their limits and shown opposing teams gratitude regardless of game outcomes. Throughout the season, they have supported one another and demonstrated the true essence of teamwork. Now, it's time to reward their efforts. Each player will receive a medal and certificate (printed with the requested paper and ink) acknowledging their achievements as a student-athlete and integral member of our basketball team. They will also earn a basketball keychain, labeled with their name, to hang on their bookbags and identify them as a team member. Finally, they will select basketball stickers to decorate their water bottles and notebooks and remind them of their hard work and achievement on the court.

Thank you for supporting our student-athletes by helping them know that hard work pays off.
