BIG THANKS TO BANQUET COMMITTEE!

It was another excellent basketball banquet. A celebration of the hard work these girls put in during the long basketball season. As has become a tradition the food that was left was donated to a food kitchen in Wesport.

Thanks to all the sophomore parents who helped put it all together and to the Sheridan's for their "yummy" frozen custard.
