We are launching a thread called Power of the Positive. Look for the great things happening in our school we will post with this title.
This week: The 8th grade girls basketball team played Woodriver in district finals and when it was over, although the warriors came out on top, all the girls showed awesome sportsmanship as they slapped hands.
Also a student took it upon himself after the game to grab the broom and sweep the gym floor.
