| | | | | MESSAGE FROM MR. MEDWED This week our Varsity Boys and our Junior Varsity Boys played the first basketball games of the season. Although only the JV team won their game this week, I am so proud of the way both teams played together, the way their coaches have been working with them, and the way in which they represented our school on the court. It was also wonderful to feel the excitement throughout the whole school about the start of the season, the spirit of the game and the chatter among even our youngest of students that "KSA was playing the basketball game" and that "KSA won the game!" Organized activities such as sports are an important part of growing up for our students in the middle grades. The passion and the hard work that goes into becoming a team and forging bonds together are great life skills that will serve our children well in the future. Thank you to the players, the volunteer coaches, the parents who support the teams by coming to the games and driving, and to our students who enjoy the purple spirit of KSA! All of the games, both home and away, are listed on the school's calendar which can be found on our website. I encourage you to bring your children to a game and experience the magic of the KSA family! Shabbat Shalom! |
