Charlotte Lab School's 5th grade boys basketball team recently capped off an undefeated regular season. The Lions finished the season as the #1 overall team with a perfect 8-0 record, scoring the most points in the 24-team InterFaith Basketball League that includes schools from the greater Charlotte region. Playoffs began last week and after receiving a first round bye, the Lions won their first two playoff games in dramatic fashion, both come-from-behind wins that advanced them to the Final Four. The Lions lost a close game last Friday evening in the semi-finals, showing the same heart they demonstrated all season long and fighting until the end. The players and parents appreciated the support of more than a dozen Lab faculty and administrators who were joined by their families to support the Lions in their final game. Coach Patrick Hill has done an incredible job with this group of boys during their inaugural season of competitive basketball, emphasizing teamwork, sportsmanship, grit, hustle, and playing unselfishly. Every member of this year's team scored a basket, and they showed everyone what it means to be a true team with how hard they played every single week. For a team that has never played organized sports together (and does not even have a gym!), we could not be more proud of the 5th grade boys basketball team for a truly memorable season.

Miss Jessica has various slots available for all grade levels for piano, voice, or combo (piano/voice) lessons to be taken during recess, PE, or enrichment blocks during the last trimester. Interested parents may email jessica@charlotteschoolofmusic.org. 

In an effort to streamline our Green Folder/Communication process, we will now send just one set of flyers home to each family, rather than send every flyer home with every child. Generally speaking, your youngest child will be the bearer of all things Green Folder. Of course, older children will still bring home grade and individual specific information, but school-wide notices will typically only go home with the youngest child in a family. Please remember to check your Green Folders (grades k-3) or binders (grades 4-7) to keep up to date on all things Lab!

Please remember that our policy requires all children to be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school. By following this policy, you can help us reduce the spread of illness. Thank you!
