Taking the Court at the
Naval Academy

Last week our Middle School basketball teams celebrated the end of a great season with a scrimmage at the Naval Academy's Alumni Hall, where the Navy basketball teams play their home games. After the game, the teams enjoyed a pizza party and then settled in to watch the Navy basketball team take on American University. View photos>>

Our basketball players weren't the only ones to take the court last week. Our Middle School Chorus was invited to sing the national anthem before the game.
