The seniors vs faculty basketball game. The most hype event of the school year! The faculty who ruled the courts back in their day? They’re gonna dominate. The varsity basketball team? They’re gonna be up and down the court dunking on the faculty before anyone knows what’s happening. Watch as the students take revenge for all the bad grades they’ve received over the years.😉 It’s gonna be intense!
Preschool was very blessed with balloons and gifts from our community partners. Thank you T+L Supported Living, and John and Jen Wilson!!
