SOCCER BEGINS!


WINTER 2007/2008 BASKETBALL


Youth enjoy participating in the Optimist recreational basketball league.  Games are held at the Primary, old Elementary and Middle school gyms each Saturday morning through March 1rst.  This program provides a healthy activity during the winter months, and the Optimists greatly appreciate the use of school gyms.  Parents are encouraged to attend and show positive support, clean up trash after the games, and not let children run in the hallways.
