What a fun day at our PBIS Staff vs. Students Kickball Game!
The competition was fierce, the laughs were loud, and our school spirit was stronger than ever. Our staff pulled off the win!
Our Gators cheered, ran the bases, and showed great sportsmanship the entire time. Events like this remind us how special our school community is—learning, laughing, and playing together.
It was a great way to reward our students for their hard work and positive behavior this quarter. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so much fun.
Great job to all of our student players and a big thank-you to the staff who joined the game. We might have won this round… but we have a feeling the students will be coming back for a rematch!
