Thank you to the Papke family who bid on and won this thrilling after school party in our recent #SpringforSuccess Silent Auction.

⚽️🍦It was a great night for soccer! Last night our JV Bees & grades 1/2 & 3/4 teams all had games... & fun!
Our Grade 1/2 Bees gave their all in a 5-2 loss, but fun was had by all including post game ice cream! Goals were scored by Jackson S. and Bella C.
Grade 3/4 Team Terrill played hard as well but lost to Park School.
Our JV Bees celebrated a big win against the St Mark’s Lions. An unstoppable offensive swarm culminated in a 10-1 final score. Eli started the game off with a hat trick, while David, Nico, Gabe, & Parker M. also had great goals & performances. Dawit & Ryan set up great plays to ensure the BEE-autiful win. Jack lost the sole of his shoe, but a little electrical tape put him back in action for a fierce defensive showing to assist Parker P. & David in net. After the game the Bees celebrated with some well deserved ice cream!
