Administrators:
“It doesn’t matter who you are everyone is equal and can succeed.”
“It brings a lot of pride to our students, but it brings a lot of pride to our community also.”
“Being involved in a team activity and performing in front of people is invaluable.”
“It doesn’t matter if they can’t read or can’t write, or are hyperactive or don’t understand, they can still be a part of this team.”
“When people think of this school they think of this team.”
“The kids are staying active in the winter and it helps in the classroom.”
“They get to do a lot of things other kids don’t get to do.”
“It’s a tradition, kids in the first grade are already making up their nicknames and practicing the moves.”
“It helped my kid to learn to play with something other than his video game.”
“That experience put the ball in my hands more than it normally would have. It really helped me with my hand eye coordination.”
“It was my first team. It taught me responsibility.”
