On Saturday, May 23rd, 32 student-athletes and their families gathered at the Emanuel Community Center in Over the Rhine to celebrate their official induction into the Cincinnati Squash Academy. Families, Board Members, school officials, and supporters came together in our Learning Center and shared stories and laughs over breakfast breads and fruit.
At 10:30am, the eager students began filing into the courtyard under crisp, blue, spring skies. Program staff reminisced about the obstacles our students hurdled over and shared individual and group achievements.
Our cohort was then called up individually to receive their diplomas, CSA cinch bags, and 20 oz. water bottles. The parents, guardians, and supporters gave thundering applause and cheers for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders hailing from Hays Porter, St. Joseph, and CHCA's Otto Armleder. After all participants were recognized, the team gathered for a group photo that has been over 9 months in the making!
