We want to extend a huge congratulations to all the teams who participated in this year's Hoops Classic! Your dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship truly made this event memorable. Whether you were dribbling down the court or cheering from the sidelines, your passion for the game was evident throughout.

But the excitement doesn't end there! Get ready because the prize room is opening its doors next week, from March 25th to March 29th. Teachers have signed up and will send students who have raised at least $250 during the school day. It's time to reap the rewards of your hard work and dedication. Check out our progress at https://www.pledgestar.com/alderwood/

And speaking of achievements, let's give a round of applause to everyone who contributed to our Jog-a-thon fundraiser. Together, we've raised $82,000!  We're so close to our goal of $85,000! With your continued support, we'll get there in no time.

Thank you all for your incredible efforts and for coming together as a community to make these events a success. Let's keep the momentum going and make this year one to remember!
