Last Friday before Spring Break, our elementary students reached their 3rd quarter PBIS goal earning them an afternoon of fun! All students packed the gym to watch their very own high school basketball experience. The afternoon started off with cheerleaders leading the students in cheers, listening to the pep band, watching the high school girl's basketball team play, a performance by the drill team followed by watching the high school boy's basketball team. The day ended with kids getting signatures and talking to their favorite players.
One of the best things that happened Friday was ALL elementary students and staff were treated to a Raider Krazies t-shirt thanks to Girl's Basketball Coach, Jason Phillips!!! Students were so excited to wear their very own ESC shirt to the game!! It was a great day to be a RAIDER! Thank you to all who made this day so special for our students!
