Athletics: The girls basketball team closed out their season this week with a win and a loss. Overall a fun season with a great mix of girls from 5th-8th grade. We wish our 8th grade athletes Madelyn Khoury and Hailey Schwartz the best of luck as they head off to high school and we are so very proud of our youngest players, Mireya Bernal, Emma Wicker and Stella Chamoff who learned so much and had the courage to play against some tall kids in 6th - 8th grade all season. Thanks to Coaches Hill, Bush and Hawkins and special thanks to Assistant Coach Hadley Hawkins. We look forward to next year! Annual end of year athletes vs. coaches and teachers volleyball game is in the works. More info to come soon!
