Grade 6 Basketball Tournament

Today's Homework:

Think about today's tournament, and think about why the most important part of any game or sport, is the participation and NOT the winning.

If there were no participants, then there would be no winners or losers, and ultimately, there would be no sport or game.

Be proud of how you played today. For each of you, there is always the next time.

I am proud of you.
