Thanksgiving Bball

Our SRLA Basketball teams are set to compete in the 2023 Thanksgiving Tournament on November 24 and 25 in the school gym.

This is a fun and exciting weekend, and we hope the SRLA community will pitch in to help host a successful tournament for our players:

Volunteer at the event! Check out the schedule for different shifts and ways to lend a hand during the tournament.
Donate much-needed items to stock our Snack Bar! Donated items can be left with Danny at the front desk, or brought to the gym on Friday morning, November 24.

Every year, this tournament signals the kick-off to Ravens Basketball Season and also serves as an important fundraiser for the HSA and to support the SRLA athletics program. Come and support our teams!

Thanks in advance! And go, Ravens!!
