Middle School Student vs. Faculty Basketball Game

A signature event at the Middle School, the annual Student vs. Faculty Basketball Game was held on Friday, February 1st. The gym was full and the energy was high during this night focused on fun and charity.

Organized by the Middle School Student Government under the leadership of CherylAnne Amendola and Maria Arellano, along with help from PAMKA, led by Tammi Branch, and with the support from almost every Middle School faculty member and parents , a huge crowd came out to cheer on the players and enjoy the nail biter of a game where the students beat the faculty in overtime 37-31!

6th and 7th graders started off the night with a "mini-game" in which they played one another. Chamber singers sang the national anthem prior to the main event of faculty versus the 8th grade students. The Middle School Pep Band played a fantastic drum beat throughout the game, and fourth grader, Kieran Hailey and fifth grader, Anthony Labib, hit their shots during the halftime free throw contest. Baked goods donated by parents and a homeroom coin drive contest (The Bronson homeroom won!) added to the fundraising success of the night.

This year's charitable recipient, selected by the students, was the Human Needs Food Pantry, located just a few blocks away from the Middle School. The Human Needs Food Pantry

$5,614.37 was donated to the Human Heeds Food Pantry, along with over 30 bags of nonperishables!
