8th Grade Girls Basketball:  Congratulations to the 8th grade girls basketball teams on their wins last night at Northstar Middle School.  Both teams played great and should be proud of the sportsmanship you displayed when trying to help a member of one of our teams and a member of a Northstar team to score their first baskets.  You make our school proud.
