On November 12th, 99 HOSA members, along with Mrs. Kacer & Mrs. Hopper, attended HOSA Night at the Rockets. We were able to sit in on a panel of physical therapists who work with the team, followed by a Q&A. We got to attempt free throws on the court, and a few even made it! After we grabbed some food and did a little shopping, we watched the Rockets win! See the fun here: HOSA Night At The Rockets Video

Happy Thanksgiving!
Our Ladybird athletes wrapped up a special service project this week, collecting items and packing 50 Operation Christmas Child boxes. We’re incredibly proud of our girls for giving their time and hearts to bless others. Because of their teamwork and generosity, 50 children will experience a brighter Christmas this year. Proud of our girls, on and off the fields/courts. Thanks to all who contributed!
