New Hoops

A Port Allegany Elementary School Level 5 Reading Class extended a story about children in a community school helping their hometown into a real life connection.  This reading class brainstormed how they could help their own school and came up with a plan for their playground.

After voting on a plan to acquire some basketball hoops for their playground, they made posters for their school hallway, drafted take-home fliers, and engaged all of their efforts into sharing the word with all of the Port Allegany Elementary School students.  They needed all of the elementary students help to get basketball hoops for the playground. The students at PAES and this reading class accomplished their goal.  Once the students' game plan was in motion, the Elementary Parent Teacher Boosters jumped right in and matched the students' donations.

This team work is another example of the pride the students and parents take in their community school.  The class had a vision, a game plan and made a real life connection to their world that in turn will provide great fun for all.  Burlesons, Randy Shidner and the PTO donated sand for the basketball hoops and the Port Allegany Community Basketball Association donated basketballs.  Pam Fischer Photo
