Junior High Students Join Fairmont Prep White-Out Spirit Event
|
Junior high students from all three of our Fairmont preschool through 8th grade campuses filled the Fairmont Prep Academy gymnasium for "White Out" Spirit Day to cheer on both varsity basketball teams: the Lady Huskies and the dunking-wizards Huskies!
Our junior high students were treated to box lunches and then a slam-dunk competition by the towering giants from the boys team prior to the Lady Huskies game. The contest started with a bang
--- three straight brilliantly executed dunks! The crowd was going nuts! It felt like they were watching the LA Lakers!
After the girls game, all three schools participated in a basketball shooting competition. Each four-member team consisted of one student from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades plus one teacher or staff member. The day ended with the varsity boys game. Both teams won their games!

Hope Husky and the Fairmont Prep cheerleaders greeted the students as they came onto the campus. Once everyone was gathered, the students enjoyed healthy boxed lunches and face paintings.
